Year 2011 was one of change. We had a lot of changes, some good and some not so good. We are very blessed to have a beautiful family and live in a beautiful part of Southern California, Portola Hills. Our books focus on happy memories - and we have a lot to remember.

Brace still works as a Sales Manager for ARS, the largest HVAC (that means heating and air conditioning) company in Orange County. He is the Executive Secretary for our Bishop, Dan Schoessow. He continues to go on motorcycle rides and ocassionally takes me. He sang more than once with Possum Creek Blue Grass at the Orange County Fair as their lead singer. Visit our family YouTube channel (OCLakeFamily) to hear him entertain the crowd.

I, Karen, still teach voice lessons. and enjoy being home full-time. I started bicycling this year and recently got a bike of my own rather than using my girl's bikes. My goal is to use the bike trail to bike all the way to Salt Creek beach in 2012.

Penelope (13) is in 8th grade at the Orange County High School for the Arts and was accepted into the Classical Voice program. She was chosen to be the Assistant Director for the opera and is elated at the opportunity. You can see her opera blog by clicking on this link.
