Hello Friends and Family,

Just a very brief note to keep you up to date with our fun-filled lives. Enjoy the pictures!

Mike is now at 21 years working at NASA. His current project includes developing recycling technologies for space and earth. In July he was fortunate to travel to Spain for the international conference on environmental systems. This was also during the traditional running of the bulls, and when Spain won the world cup in soccer. You'll be happy to hear he was not trampled by bulls or crazy fans.

Patty is still working at Clear Lake Family Physicians as well as providing supervisory coverage for the Dickinson school-based clinics and the CHRISTUS clinic at Walmart (no, she can't get you any Walmart discount, but it does make her shopping convenient). The highlight of her year was a fantastic trip to Ireland, where she was proud to say she drove a left-handed stick shift on the left side of the road without crashing into anything. And yes, the Irish really do share the road with the sheep.

Andy is now 24, and has been living in Los Angeles for about a year and a half. He is just finishing up a long run working on the movie Transformers: Dark of the Moon, which sent him to live/work in Detroit for a couple of months this summer. Working 14 hours a day doesn't leave much time to get a California tan, but he did manage one breakaway to Big Bear where he got to play in the snow.

Megan is now 21, and is a junior studying photography at St. Edward's University in Austin. She is working on the student council as Director of Marketing. This past summer she spent several weeks studying her Irish heritage at the National University of Ireland in Galway, and she'd jump at a chance to return. The pubs here just don't compare!

Allen is 18 and a senior at Clear Lake High School. He just finished 4 years in the marching band playing saxophone. Allen was employed by his parents this summer to help remodel the kitchen. He's one of the few contractors they worked with that came in on time and on budget.

2010 was good to us and we hope 2011 will be good to all of you!

Love,
Patty, Mike, Andy, Megan, and Allen Ewert
