Sons-in-law are gifts our daughters bring to us

Har and I have been blessed to have 3 amazing sons-in-law. Each one of them has brought a new texture to the fabric of our family. All of them are hard working men that aren't afraid to pitch in with whatever is needing to be done. Whether it is in the house, outside or with one of the"kids" they are there to offer their hands and hearts to accomplish the task.

Jess came into the family 6 years ago. He is quiet, thoughtful and a great guy. He is very much like the Carhartt jacket that he likes to wear. Dependable and high quality.

He is a hard working dad with 3 busy busy children. He was very diligent in moving snow during our big winter event over Christmas. He cleared all the sidewalks so we could have Christmas Eve service at our house.

Logan married into this clan 3 years ago. He loves adventure whether it is personally challenging himself or encouraging others to join in on some project or game, life is never dull with him around. He is a great cook and always complementary of a meal well prepared for him.

He is also a great dad. Little Rowan is a chip off the old block in a lot of ways. He and his dad have a huge tender side to them. He is also very giving of himself and his stuff. (Thanks for letting us drive your car this week)

Kiel married Cherise in August of this year. He is a go getter. He gets people motivated to get things accomplished. He is an organizing dynamo and not afraid to jump in and help where ever he can. We appreciated his chauffeuring during this recent storm. He took people out with his wonder jeep whenever the need arose. He also took a turn at the shoveling job.

He also knows his way around a kitchen and has volunteered and been of service in many capacities there from food prep to clean up.

Our younger kids are better people for having these men in their lives. We have "partners in parenting" though we are the Mom and Dad, we look to our older kids for support in lots of areas.

So thank you, Rich & Jane, Allan & Kathryn, Steve & Carol. You have reared some amazing men. We are grateful!
