Year End Update

So yet another year is coming to an end. I sit here reflecting on what this year has brought.
Well the easiest way do remember the year is to think about each month. On Feb 9 we were priviledged to meet Noah Jared Walker who was born in Lethbridge at 3:46pm weighing 7lbs, 20 1/2 inches. Ben was shocked, then excited to finally have a boy.
In July Ben turned 26 and made me promise never to try to throw him a surprise party again.
August brought the girls' birthdays. Mikayla turned 3 and Lana turned 2. They are growing like weeds and are becoming wonderful little ladies. In September I turned 22 and was priviledged to be taken out for a child-free birthday dinner.
Now we are preparing for christmas and changes that the new year will bring. Ben starts his third year Technical training on Jan 5 for 8 weeks. We are praying that the financial support we recieve will be enough to supportr our family.
We are looking forward to the Christmas season , as we focus on our Savior and serve our fellow community members.
We have started a new tradition for FHE. Every other week we go to Ben's parents house for a combined FHE. It has worked well and we look forward to continuing. We have a service project planned for our next combined FHE. We are going to take cookies to some families.

The girls and I put up the Christmas Tree this week and we are all looking forward to German Christmas on Dec 6, for which the kids each get an outfit. Then we look forward to Christmas when we get to see Emma & Dave, my stepsister and her husband, and 2 of three sets of grandparents on the same day. Then we get to have a cultural Christmas on Jan 7 for Ukranian Christmas, when Grandma Walker makes all sorts of yummy, traditional food.

We hope that the new year brings joy and happiness. And that we may all find harmony and peace in our lives.

Love,
The Walkers
Ben, Virginia, Mikayla, Lana & Noah.
