Brendan-
Brendan still works for Siemens as a power plant engineer. This year he worked at plants in Washington,
Montana,Arizona, and Colorado. Brendan is still in the army reserves. As a sergeant, he is in charge of about 20 soldiers. When home, he works on the constant to-do list for the house. He enjoys walking and playing with the dogs and playing a ton of Xbox. As a couple, Brendan and Hannah enjoyed a trip to Florida for both work and play. Seeing old friends and
going to Sea World for the first time where they got to pet a dolphin was a
wonderful break from “life”. Hannah also visited Brendan while he was on a job
in Phoenix. While there they went to the zoo (which has become their tradition at every place they travel to). At the Phoenix Zoo they got to ride a camel and
feed a giraffe. They also enjoyed a trip to Vegas with friends.
Hannah-
Hannah finished another semester at Metropolitan
State of Colorado in the spring. As she was still struggling with tendinitis
in her wrist and could not fulfill piano playing requirements, she looked into different school options to help her finish a composition degree. After a lot of research and prayer, she applied for the University of Denver and was very excited to get accepted. After talking with the head of composition she found out that out of hundreds of applicants, only
10-12 people are accepted, so she feels very honored to be in the program. Outside of school, Hannah enjoys her pets, scrapbooking and cooking/baking. This summer she took motorcycle
lessons and got her license. She also took a drawing class (NOT her forte, but it was still fun). This is a portrait of Hannah and Brendan (done in ink).
Belle-
Our dog Belle is turning 3 this Christmas. She has already been having leg problems and late this fall we noticed a lump on her front right paw. She started licking at
it so we decided to get it checked out. It turned out to be a tumor. We opted to do the surgery to get it removed and were happy to find it was just benign. She has been WAY more energetic and playful. We are so thankful it all turned out well. (This picture is Belle loving on our new nephew, Isaac.)
Prince-
Prince is our newest addition to the “Greene Zoo”. We had been talking about getting a new puppy to help Belle exercise more and for added protection while Brendan is gone. After a ton of research we decided we liked the “boxer” breed and found a boxer mix pup at the Boulder Humane. We named him Prince (Because he’s too cute
to be “Beast”--- but Belle needed a Prince). He is VERY high energy and has been more of an “adventure” in training then Belle was. We are patiently still working with him and are seeing good results. He will be a GREAT guard dog…. As a young puppy he almost attacked Brendan when he came home at 2am from work. That makes Hannah happy—feeling protected.

We still have Isolde, Eilonwy and Vasto. All are doing well and getting along with the new pup. Vasto LOVES Prince and lets him bite on him and chase him all the time.
Our family continues to rely on God for all things. To Him be all glory and Honor.
