We were able to call Bryan on New Year's Day and had a great long talk with our missionary. Here is a picture of part of the family gathered around talking to him on Skype in Ukraine. The phone call lasted 4 hours (which was OK with his mission president) and everyone got to talk to their hearts' content and we were able to talk about everything. One wonderful surprise for all of us came when Holly was talking to Bryan and announced that they are expecting a baby in August (on Dave's birthday.) She saved the big news to surprise all of us at once.
As we sat there and listened to Bryan and watched the grandboys play I had such great feelings that this is the good part of life. All that work is worth it when you have moments like that.
Happy New Year Everyone.

Congratulations, 2 more grand babies this year!! I think about Bryan often. I hope all is well with him. I am sure he is doing wonderful things. He is a great kid. My husband has said that he has been one of his favorite home teaching companions!!
