Dear friends and family, I haven't hit this blog in months-- not even to update my reading list! But the Christmas cards are about to be sent, and lots has changed, so here's a whirlwind trip through 2025.
January founbd us celebrating the New Year with the whole crew (minus Ben) at Great Wolf Lodge in Scottsdale. What a fun, noisy, exhausting time!
February brought Carys' 10th trip. We Headed to Tucson's amazing Gem and Mineral show.
We had a great time taking the two eldest grand daughters to Moab, Utah in May. We met Ben and Elsa and family at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon (just before the devasting fire there), and "kidnapped" Ada, and enjoyed several days together.
In the summer, we began in earnest our move to Arizona. It was a time of waiting and searching. But we landed in Tucson in August, and moved into our new house in September.
Right before Thanksgiving, we held our 11th Cousins Camp in our new house.
And we enjoyted Thanksgiving with Ben and Elsa and family, Tim and Nikki and family, and friends.
And now we are here, and it is somehow December, and Christmas is right around the corner. We have seen God provide for us perfectly through a tough move, many decisions, and lots of health skirmishes. And we have rejoiced to fellowship with family and friends from all around trhe country. We now know the blessing of grandkids every day. We are building relationships in a new church, and serving and being served by our children. It is a blessed time, and a new chapter in our lives. And whenever the energy ebbs low, God reminds us of His love, and picks us up again. We are very grateful!
If somehow you have not gotten our new address and you want it. send us a text or email. Phone numbers and e-mail remain the same. And come visit us in warm, sunny Tucson!
May God bless you all with a lovely Christmas and a joyous New Year!
Dave and Chris
