Dear Friends,
We send you our love and wish you a merry Christmas and happy New Year.
A few highlights from 2024:
Esther (4) is a master fuse-bead artist, sassy twirler, reluctant soccer player and delights unendingly in her older sister’s antics.
Beata (7) builds elaborate forts, stays up too late reading Dogman, and never misses a chance to either annoy her older brother or make her younger sister laugh.
Ari (12) has now read every single Brandon Sanderson and Orson Scott Card novel (please send me more book recommendations!), accepted my $50 bribe to learn how to play Les Barricades Mystérieuses, and loves bringing beauty to the world through his singing.
Mariya wrote nonstop for Deseret News (this one was great), was on time to a record number of events, and enjoyed sunbathing in Antibes.
Zach loves his work at Faith Matters, wrote about split-brain research, and wonders whether he has an unhealthily close relationship with his AirPods.
We are so grateful for your friendship and pray that you feel peace, joy and hope this season and throughout the coming year.
With warmest wishes,
Zach and Mariya
P.S. We’d love to hear from you! Write us back by replying to this message or email us zacharysdavis@gmail.com and mariya.manzhos@gmail.com.
