Every year I send out a Christmas letter and picture. Here is this year's edition
Dear Family and Friends,
We hope this Christmas season finds you and yours healthy
and well. We are doing great. It has been a year of firsts and change for
us. First time being band parents, first
time being basketball parents, and Ben had a job change. We are still in our same town, same house—come
see us! We weren’t looking for the job
change, but it fell into our laps, and we felt it would be good. Ben is now the Director of Rehab Services at
the brand new Hospital.
Being in a brand new facility is very nice, and he enjoys his work and
co-workers. It has been and continues to
be a challenge and a good change. Here
