Our Utah sons visit Franklin

During the months of November and December, we were treated by a visit from our two Utah sons.  Joel came out on Halloween and stayed through to watch BYU beat MTSU in Murfreesboro on Nov. 1.  Brad came two days after Christmas and stayed to welcome in the New Year with us. Each came all by himself and that was actually a special treat – having that alone time with them. Thank you Jenica and Susan for letting your spouses take leave and visit us.
