Happy Mother’s Day!

Olympic Hopeful: 2024

Alexander Goes to the Farm
Oh My! What a day of fun! This weekend when Grandma and Grandpa came down for a bit ‘o visit, we were all in for a treat. We had thought about heading to the petting farm on Sabbath, but weather, (and baby) wasn’t quite so cooperative. And so it worked Continue Reading
Thank You, Grandma!
From time to time, Grandma Winkler comes down from Saginaw on her day off and gets to spend some time with her little grandson and give Nana Johnson an extra day off. They’re good days for all of us, and we’re happy Alexander gets so much love and care. This Continue Reading
