December tidings

Hello from Michigan!

No news yet, but we're getting our ducks in a row at home. Cathy and I cleaned and organized our basement into a very nice multi-use space that consolidates our home office, exercise area, and family room. This frees up our second bedroom for the future nursery!

We have also created a space and system to better sell off things to help make room and have extra cash when the baby finally arrives.

I wish that we could have traveled to spend Christmas with my family this year but other factors interfered with those plans. We haven't yet gotten to see our new little niece, Jori, but hopefully, we can make it out to Alaska and Oregon soon.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Godparents chosen

It's Thanksgiving and what we are most thankful for this year is... Godparents for our future baby!

We've chosen our niece, Kimberly, as the godmother, and our nephew, Shane, as the godfather. They are brother and sister and are both active in the Church and very positive, responsible young adults. We were delighted that they accepted this calling and we know that they will be wonderful role models in our child's life.

And if that wasn't blessing enough, we are spending time with much of Cathy's family as well as my mom to share a meal and look forward to a wonderful holiday season.

Life is good!
