Greetings family and friends! Here’s what we were up to in 2010:

Paul (Dad) is still an accountant at the University of Virginia but his job responsibilities expanded when his manager retired last January.  He has been doing both his job and his manager’s job much of the year, but recently some of his work is being transfered to another foundation at UVA.  He enjoys playing tennis every week in our local indoor courts and is glad to have a four day workweek. Paul’s most significant accomplishment of the year, however, was joining Facebook.

Linda (Mom) loves homeschooling Anna and watching her ballets. She likes organic gardening, organic food, and reading (if anyone knows how do organic reading, please let her know). She is currently growing out her hair in order to donate it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths.

Joshua’s memoir Just Don’t Fall was published last January. It is a National Bestseller and will be coming out in paperback next month. You can check out his website and his YouTube channel to keep up with his activities. He recently became a vegan (though he wishes to clarify this was for health reasons, not for animal rights. He believes that the killing of animals for food is no different than the heartless slaughter of plants).

Matthew spent January to March volunteering at a law office and writing about the Supreme Court.  He traveled to Argentina in March on a Fulbright scholarship to be an English Teaching assistant in San Juan University, which finished last month.  He has published several articles in law journals this year and was recently cited in the New York Times. Some of his friends in Argentina have created a Facebook group encouraging him to shave his beard. It has seventy-five members.

Luke graduated from Turner Ashby High School in June and began college at Harvard University in August. He seems to enjoy it and is doing well in classes, playing intramural soccer and ultimate Frisbee. His recent interview in the Harvard Crimson has put him in contention for the coveted title of Most Funniest Sundquist.

Anna is homeschooled for the seventh grade and has also started posting videos on our family YouTube channel. She now has over 5,000 subscribers.  She loves ballet, takes lessons four times per week and enjoys performing whenever she can. She recently got her very first haircut. If you’re reading this, there’s a 67% chance she’s already beaten you in Words With Friends on your iPhone.
