A year of blessings...
After a year of missing our weekly Thursday night visits with Anawynn as Dustin and Kelly Jo do their dance thing, it was a tearful reunion when she ran into our arms again. So happy to be in the process of putting the pandemic behind us (at least we're heading in the right direction). SweetCheeks is a bundle of artistic expression, be it dance, drawing, crafts...
That 21-month old joy-bringer, Ivy June, amazes "Debbie-Da" and "Deweee" with her intelligence and love of people. It came in handy as she, Curtis, and Abbey welcomed baby sister Ezra Ann to the family this year.
Johnathan, Shonda, and Maverick have settled into post-military life in Arkansas, even as Mom and Dad work on the Air Force base (and Maggot works hard on his social and verbal skills in pre-school).
Phil, though still officially on a temporary break from teaching high school art, is fully-engaged as an apprentice electrician and by all accounts is enjoying the change. Angel continues her work as a reading specialist, adjusting to the ever-changing Covid quirks of education. Jesse sent shock waves through the family when he became our first grandchild to reach double digits and Thomas is shining his own light of love and energy.
Dewey started working a six-month contract position in November, which got extended to April 1...though he is still seeking a full-time direct-hire position and has a couple irons in the fire even as we speak. Creatively, he started two podcasts this fall. You can find out all the particulars by going HERE.
Our deepest desire for all who read these words is for you to be healthy, happy, and secure in the knowledge that God put on flesh because he loves you. He thinks you're to die for! Have a blessed new year!
