Christmas 2017
Christmas 2017 During Advent we look ahead in expectation for the Child to be born. And so it is with Brian and me as we eagerly anticipate our first grandchild at the end of this month. Stefan and Leta, 27, are expecting a son on Dec. 29. These two are way more prepared for a first infant than Brian and I ever were. They already have prepared and frozen a month’s worth of meals. Although Leta could not hunt with Stefan this year, she single-handedly butchered the two deer he brought home. Brian was along to witness the one-in-million shot Stefan took to bring down one of the deer. Both were standing by the back gate of Stefan’s truck when three doe tore past through the meadow in front of them. Stefan put down his sandwich, ran 10 feet, grabbed his rifle, popped the scope cap and the safety, sited the doe and dropped her with one shot. Total time elapsed: 4 seconds. “I felt so old and inadequate,” Brian said. Nevertheless, Brian and I are too young and hip to be grandparents. W
