I didn’t manage to put together a physical holiday card this year, so I thought I’d do a little something here.

This has been a year with more than the average amount of sorrow for us, but we find ourselves appreciating our joys that much more. Growth doesn’t happen without some discomfort (Huck can tell you that on his way up!) and every discomfort offers an opportunity for growth. Personally I struggle to be gracious about it, but that struggle is exquisite in its own way.

Our house largely sat and waited for our attention this year, though the big rock wall and paint job sure make us look spiffy. It seems likely that we will get somewhere new and interesting in 2018, but I am not holding my breath for “finished”. We are warm, comfortable, and used to the privation of the toilet in the kitchen, so it’s all first world problems from there.

I submit to you a small gallery of photos from our lives in 2017, and a story of grace. Please take care of each other out there! Sending our warmest wishes,

Bevin, Morgan and Huck
