A happy hello from the Pister house. Everything is doing amaz-z-ing.My father Karl is doing well at home and work, and is enjoying his favorite hobby which is wood carving for those of you who didn't and probably all of you don't know.

My mother audrey is doing very well.

For christmas she got a weaving loom and has been working on that, and is doing most excellent in that project. She is still doing a amazing job at home schooling me (emma) who is also enjoying it as much as school can be enjoyed .

Stephen is doing excellent as well and very cold. His last email posted the question if your eyes can freeze? and we found out yes they can freeze but I won't go into detail on that subject. Stephen is also very exited about five new investagators and is happy as usual.

Christopher is doing excellent in school socialy and grade wise he also went to europe last summer and has fallen in love with the country so I will see if I can post some of his pictures from over the pond.
