| The Stutz
family is happy to be writing from Mumbai, India, for a second year.
We continue to teach at the American
School of Bombay and to enjoy the travel adventures that India has
to offer. Last year, my sister sent a great summary of 2007 letter
in a ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’ format. I liked the idea so much,
I copied it! Here we go!
The Stutz
Family – 2008
 Dave
and Susan move happily into their 12th
year
of marriage...
Alea
turned 11
on the last day of school; the perfect birthday gift!
We counted
10
Chinese fishing nets on the beach in Kerala,
south India, where we spent a wonderful April holiday.
Breck
celebrated his 9th
birthday with Star Wars theme cake and fun.
Alea’s fingers
slid over the 8
keys of her new sax at the ASB
Christmas concert!
Breck taught
7
tech staff at ASB how to manage Pivot animation programs. Check
out his fine work
 We
spent 6
fabulous days in glorious Udaipur,
India over Diwali holiday.
Alea spent
5days
away from home with her teachers and peers in Matheran,
India on her Week Without Walls tour.
We have 4
happy members in our family:
-
Susan still loves
teaching first grade and singing ABBA songs
-
Dave still loves
teaching middle school math and facebooking as many people in a day as
he can
-
Breck still loves
Legos and Star Wars
-
Alea still loves
reading and drawing penguins on her laptop.
We are blessed
as a family and feel fortunate to be here in Mumbai working for and with
a great school.
 On
our
3rd
day back in the USA for summer holiday, Dave tore the meniscus in his knee
and spent the next 6 weeks recovering
after surgery.
We cancelled
2
days of school after the terrorist
bombings
in south
Mumbai
in November. We hope and pray for peace in 2009 for Mumbai, India,
Asia and the world.
On the 1st
day of January, 2009, we’ll be traveling in sunny Thailand, enjoying Bangkok,
Chiang Mai, and Krabi.
We hope this
finds you healthy, happy and safe. Peace to all this holiday season.

20th) here... |
