Dear Friends,
In the spirit of the season, Rachel is great with child and will bless our home with a third swaddling babe sometime in late January. There was some concern on the part of older brother Dunn when we announced that the new baby will be a boy (ultrasound)--he had his heart set on a baby sister. It was little comfort to him to know that Mommy would make more. We have chosen the name "Chase Martin Westhoff." "Chase" after Rachel's Mormon pioneer ancestor Heber C. Kimball and "Martin" after Heber B. Martin, John's maternal grandfather who passed away this year. (After some deliberation we have abandoned the name "Heber Heber Westhoff," as Ray thought this too cumbersome.)
