Happy to be a Mom!

I love this thought from President David O. McKay

"She, who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions -- deserves the admiration and the plaudits of man. But she who rears a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded, and books have been destroyed she deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."

Wagstaff Christmas Letter

Merry Christmas from the Singapore Wagstaffs

That’s right the biggest news this past year is that we moved our family to Singapore. We got here in September and will be here for several years. We are truly enjoying the move! Singapore has been a wonderful place with wonderful people and lots of fun things to do for our family. We have enjoyed the Zoo, swimming, exploring other cultures like Chinese, Malaysian, Indonesian, and Indonesian, museums, parks, malls, and tropical rainforests.

Devin has a great job with the law firm O’Melveny & Meyers as an Associate Lawyer. He is working way too hard and too many hours but finds the time to be with our family. He is also teaching the 6 year olds in Primary on Sundays.

Naomi is home with the kids exploring every aspect of Singapore, and making friends from all over the world. She loves to blog, sew, and read in her free moments. She is serving as Relief Society Secretary in our ward.

Spencer is 3 ½ and talking unceasingly, the taxi drivers her call him a “Chatterbox.” He is taking swimming lessons, going to Joyschool, playgroups, and learning how to be a great big brother.

Marianne is 21 months, she loves, animals- dogs, horses, chickens etc. . . which she refers to each one fondly as their sound they make, like neigh-neigh, cluck-cluck . She is starting to talk lots and has quite the personality coming out.

Other news from this year includes:

Graduating Law School from BYU in April!

Studying for and Passing the California Bar!

Visiting San Francisco, Lake Powell, Washington DC, and Prince Edward Island, CA with our Families.

We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Come and visit us soon, we have room for guests!

Love,

Devin, Naomi, Spencer, and Marianne Wagstaff

Another congrats to Devin on passing the bar. It's no fun starting the process over with Adam taking the Nevada bar. Fun to catch up on all your Singapore adventures. Way to go on your sewing projects Naomi. Sure miss you guys!
