Remembering our lives with Carter....
Merry Christmas 2009 from the Dorwin’s
Merry Christmas from the Dorwin’s! We hope that this holiday season finds you
comfy, cozy, happy and well. 2009 has
been a busy, wonderful year for us with a big move from northwestern Durand,
all the way to southeastern Lake Geneva!
Carter turned eight in July.
He is enjoying his new school and the new city of Lake Geneva. He makes a good little scout, with an
interest in science and discovery education!
Attending the “Winter and Summer Camps”
for the cub scouts at Fort Rice in Haugen, was a treat for him! His Pinewood Derby was the event to be at this year, where he raced his “cool”,
orange car that Grandpa Bill helped him make.
Currently, he is getting another car ready for the next Pinewood Derby
in January. Along with cub scouts during
the week, and learning new wrestling moves in the Badger Youth Wrestling Club,
he is a busy 2nd grader. His
humor, along with his big heart makes us smile.

Bradley will turn four on Christmas Eve. Our little preschooler wants to be a
policeman! His animated stories
entertain us. He absolutely adores his
big brother and his dad. You would find
Bradley playing with the dress-up clothes and acting out: Indiana Jones, Star
Wars, a Police Officer, or a Knight. The
boys have become close brothers and it is nice to see them play together, along
with our dog, Toby. Bradley’s excitement
and enthusiasm makes us smile. J
Chad and Nicole have been busy exploring Lake Geneva and
finding all the good restaurants. In
April, Chad went to work for a business in Ellsworth, hauling sand and gravel. Currently, he has the best job of all - and
that is being “Dad”. He is looking for a
job in the Lake Geneva area, however, many of the leads that he has are
positions for the Spring time – this makes Bradley happy. How wonderful it is to think of the memories
he is creating for Carter and Bradley.
Bradley will be very sad when the time comes and Chad finds work outside
the home. L
Nicole is busy with her new teaching job at the Badger High
School. She loves her new Family & Consumer Sciences Department
and the position that she has. She
completed her graduate work in August at UW-Stout, in Family Life and Human Development.
The school and community keep us busy with many invitations to all kinds
of fun events. There is never a dull
moment around here. We enjoy our boys
and our new community.
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOURS-
CHAD, NICOLE, CARTER & BRADLEY
Jesus is the reason
for this Christmas season.
May your heart and home be filled with the true spirit of
Christmas - JESUS!
I keep putting one foot in front of the other today as I did the day of Carter's death. I take a day at a time, asking God to guide me in trusting Him through every situation, even if I can't understand why it's happening.
Lord, even in times that are much less happy, may I still come and find joy in Your presence.
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am." John 14:1-3

My Wyatt googled his name today. He found pictures of him and Carter wrestling. Very happy memories. I pray your family heals and only joyous memories fill your hearts.
