Merry Christmas!
Plus invitations to Julbord and Ari's Christmas concert









A few highlights from 2025:
Esther (5) enjoys reading Brambly Hedge and loves all things bunnies.
Beata (8) began violin lessons, joined the St. Peter’s School basketball team, and is obsessed with her best friend Alex.
Ari (13) performed at Tanglewood, was named head chorister of his school, and with new braces and burgeoning acne, has officially entered teenagehood.
Mariya was appointed the new State of Faith newsletter writer and published nonstop for Deseret News, including a profile of Jane Clayson, a magazine piece about The Bulwark, and an inspiring story of a refugee family.
Zach continues to believe that Faith Matters, worked on Issue 5 and Issue 6 of Wayfare, launched a new podcast called Article 13, and thought about peace, New Theism, AI, Atlas Shrugged, and Abbot Suger.
And our biggest news is that next summer we’re moving to Salt Lake City. We just closed on a beautiful home in our favorite neighborhood and can’t wait to gather with our Utah friends soon (and host our Boston friends for hiking or ski trips!).
We are so grateful for your friendship and support and pray that you feel peace, joy and hope this season and throughout the coming year.
With warmest wishes,
Zach and Mariya
