The News: Saturday, December 1 Edition

Hey, it’s time for my annual “oh crap it’s December and I have not even remotely begun even figuring out what to get people for Christmas, much less buying anything” panic! But even more importantly, today is the seventh birthday of my niece’s oldest daughter. Our lives were immeasurably changed for the better when she and her siblings came to live with our family, and it was one of the happiest days of my life when I stood and witnessed the judge finally telling us they were ours to keep forever and ever. She is amazing, and I don’t just say that because I’m biased. Her teachers cannot say enough good about her, she’s working two grade levels ahead of where she’s supposed to be, and she goes out of her way to help and make sure everyone around her is included in everything so no one feels left out. I am proud, and humbled, and incredibly fortunate that she is a part of my life. Happy Birthday, Evelyn!
