We were SO glad that the Brink cousins came up from St Louis (after they spent Christmas with their family in Memphis) for the last two nights of our visit. We parents enjoyed seeing how much the cousins loved playing together, usually involving chasing, squealing, Legos and stuffed animals. And it was good for us adults to talk about life over the last year and what may be coming for 2018... with uncertainty for both of our families. Somehow we try to hold to hope and not worry about what is two or three steps ahead - but just take the challenges and process one thing at a time. (Sadly we didn't get a good family photo of everyone this time!! Argh!)

Jim and Granddad took the oldest three over the the campus gym for a 'game' of soccer and run around the track. Boy it's cold out there!!! So glad we have a gym we can go to!

On our last afternoon some new snow began falling and everyone rushed out to play before it got dark. Perfect end to our trip!
