Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

2018 has been a full year that has seen both loss and blessing. In October, Karis' Opa passed away after being diagnosed with cancer only a few months earlier. Thankfully, we were able to travel to Arizona for his funeral, and were able to grieve along with many family members from around the country. 
On December 11th, we welcomed our second daughter, Rosalie Joy. God blessed us with a smooth pregnancy and delivery. Lyndee loves "Baby Rosie" though she sometimes slips up and calls her "Baby Wadda". 
Thomas and I are enjoying time together (yay parental leave!) as parents of two precious girls. He will begin an online masters degree in mechanical engineering at Purdue University in January. 
We are grateful for each of your prayers and support as we pursue wisdom in raising our kids and working at our jobs with excellence and kindness. We hope your year has been full of the love and peace of Christ, and that you are looking forward to 2019 as we are!
Love,
Thomas, Karis, Lyndee, and Rosalie Buerger
