Maddie and Dane had their little girl on December 29, 2023. What a wonderful way to end the year!! Clementine Jo Romberg - 7 pounds, 21 inches - PERFECT! Maddie is wonder woman - she had the baby at home! With a midwifes' help! Yikes!! She's tired. Beautiful - just from Heaven!! Emily came over from Denver to be with them a week. Then Kurt drove the rest over to pick her up and meet darling Clementine!

Golden Pheasant - so pretty. Elder and Sister Goodson - wonderful senior missionaries and friends. They are the Area Auditors.
