Darin asked me after learning about Jared's & Julianna's engagement if he would be an uncle when he was 5. I told him no, buy maybe when he is 7. He then asked if I would still be here to take care of him. I reassured him that I would always be his mommy. He thought that when he became an uncle that he would have to leave home. Ü






Aimee says she will share her little people with Julianna.

Brian is loving his mission in Romania. The work is hard, but he finds joy in giving his all and loves to see the many miracles of love that takes place each day.

We miss him greatly, but are thrilled for him to have this experience as he serves the Lord.

Hi everyone,

This is us, Jeff and Jodi! Blogging is a new experience and so be patient with us as we attempt this new adventure. Our goal is to create a spot for family news and events. We love our kids and now that Jared & Kelli are enjoying college life and Brian is serving his mission in Romania, we need a spot in this world that we can call home and fill it full of love, wisdom, advice and events from home. Families are forever and we are each others greatest support in life. Let us use this blog to uplift and encourage one another as we work hard to stay close and informed. You, our children, are our greatest treasures and blessings in life. We love you each dearly!!
