Kids...
Sarah Kathryn had the idea that for Christmas, they would have pictures taken as a gift for Lauren and me, and it was such a wonderful idea.

In the picture on the left below is Laura, a freshman at NC State for 2024-2025 school year, Sarah Kathryn, as senior at Western North Carolina, and Matthew, a sophomore at East Lincoln High School.  They are quite a joy to Lauren and me, and time has passed so very quickly!
