December 1998 Dear Schroeder Family, Sorry about the newsletter getting out a little late this month. It has been one of the busiest times in our lives. After having had our house on the market for 18 months, we finally got a contract on it on December 5th. The closing date the buyer chose is January 30th. So consequently Dan and I and the girls have been house-hunting like crazy. I never knew it could be so tiring. Not to mention the fact that it's Christmas time and I'm always crazy at this time of year anyway with the holidays and Karla's and Tara's birthday. They turn seven and five this year. So we. searched and searched, and finally we put a contract in for a house in Crofton. Maryland. We haven't heard f rom the sellers yet as to whether they'll accept our offer, but we're keeping our fingers crossed. Let me tell you, it's hard to type with your fingers crossed! Anyway, I did the newsletter in only a day, no time for calls to get news this time. Thanks to Jennifer for all her wonderful news on the Foss family. I'd like to wish each and every one of you a safe and blessed Christmas season, and an extremely happy New Year!! Love,
