A December to Remember
This month was a reminder to never try to plan anything in life. But to also be grateful for the results of the life unplanned. December is a big month for Chris and me.

Our Fourth Grandchild
About four weeks before their second child was due, Zeb and Bri moved east. Wild things! They settled in fast, and we all made plans for the impending birth. Bri was going to get an induction so we knew what dates we were working with (so helpful). Chris and I took work and headed to…
