Dear Phil and Dorothy,
	Here is that money for the car you're going to get.  I'm sorry that
it took me a couple of days to get it sent.

	How are things in Bozeman?  Winter decided to show up here.  It's
been getting down to about 8 degrees and we have snow on the ground.  There
has been a fair amount of snow in the mountains.  If it keeps up it will
be a good skying year.

	I'm starting to get busy at work again.  We've been making a lot
of strategy changes for the last few months and haven't been too busy
because we weren't too sure what we wanted to do.  We think we know what we
want to do now and so we can start getting some productive work done.

	The kids are all doing real well.  Robin is starting to read more
and can spell words that can be sounded out.  She likes school a lot and is
doing great.  Matt is a little wild man, but he's getting along a lot better
with Robin since she started school.  He knows all the letters and can count
to about 15.  Robin helps him a lot.  Brandon crawls now and so is all over
the place.  He likes to be with the other kids and gets mad when he is left
alone.  He looks just like Matt did when Matt was his age.  When we watch our
movies we think that the movies of Matt are Brandon.

	Marcy had the kids pictures taken this week for Chrismas.  We might
re-do them because she doesn't think that they will turn out well.  Matt
got his fingers slammed in the door an the way to Sears and so was sad and
Brandon pucked on his shirt and so she had to put it on him backwards.
So much for the v-neck.

	Marcy has been busy making Chrismas presents.  She decided to make a
lot of stuff this year.  It's the first time she's had a chance to sew since
Brandon was born.  Her mother is down here for Thanks Giving.  It's been
nice to visit with her.  We haven't really done anything but she's had a lot
of time to visit with the kids and Marcy.

	Well I better do some work.  We'll see you next month.

					Love,
					Rob, Marcy, Robin, Matt & Brandon.
