Update for the 2011-2012 School Year
===========================

Stephen is enjoying his position as head of school for Brazosport Christian School.  He is in charge of moving the school forward and helping them grow in both curriculum and academic status.  He is also working on different initiatives to help the school grow back to the size it once was.  At one time, there were more than 300 students attending the school.  This year, there are currently 190 students enrolled between pre-kindergarten and twelfth grade.

Cristina is a stay at home mom for the first time since she became a mom.  She is enjoying taking care of the three kids at home, as it will be the last year before Jared starts kindergarten and Luke might possibly start preschool next year, as well. Since she has more free time than previously, she is determined to finish writing her dissertation this year in order to graduate with her Ph.D. in Communication in May of 2012.
