Happy Holidays from the Tsai family, 2016! Dear family and friends, Wow! Another year has passed. We began with a surprise blizzard in January which granted us a week reprieve from work and school. Our trips included Harpers Ferry, Virginia Beach, and Utah. May was filled with concerts, recitals, and graduations. In July, we were delighted by the visits of our friends the Gerber-Kai's and the Pascual's. Megan started her first year in an extracurricular activity, which kept us plenty busy. Our oldest moved to a new house. And we even had an engagement in the family. For more details, read below. We hope you had a great year as well. Here are our individual reports of this year. This fall, I was given the long awaited opportunity to teach a new class, Thermodynamics. Although I had been making the request for a new for many years now, it came as a surprise. As a result, I have been very busy, spending many hours in developing new homework
