It's 2021; Where is the Egg Family Now?

2000 Egg Family: CW from Top Left- Taylor, Kevin, Katie, Jordan, Mom Kristy, Theron, Hannah, Dad Jay

The Eggs have an empty nest, and after 23 years of marriage, and nearly 35 years in Florida, we've flown the coop.  So we are taking this Crazy & Wonderful Christmas Season to share an update in our Egg Family Blog!

Our eldest from Kristy's first marriage, Kevin Quick is married to Erial Anderson and living in Lacy, WA with these beautiful babies.  Kevin is an injured Afghanistan Army Veteran, making a family and working hard in many fields of skilled labor.  We got to visit for Halloween 2020, and we are smitten with this family!

Katie is serving in the Army currently stationed at Fort Meade, MD after a long tour in Hawaii.  She and Jamisyn continue to charm us all as you can see in these images from Christmas 2019 in Northern California, where Katie's sister-in-law Rebecca, and daughter Cameryn live.  We got to have so much fun with these beautiful granddaughters & girl cousins last Christmas!

Sister Hannah Egg Serving in Gilbert, AZ 
Married to Devin De Priest, Sept 07, 2019
Mom & Dad Moved to AZ November 2020
Hannah & Devin , due with Baby-Boy 'Darwin' in February 2021

Hannah returned from her mission to Gilbert in December 2018, and found Devin De Priest, a missionary that had served in our home-town of Kissimmee, and married Devin in September 2019.  They live in Chandler, AZ, and are due with their first child in February, 2021.  His name will be "Darwin Jay".  Not sure about that middle name?

Elders Eggleston & Egg Companions in Sacramento

 Theron Egg III received his mission call serve in Sacramento, CA early in 2020, and was set apart in August. He flew out after a Covid-related home-bound-training, and has fallen in love with the work, and his amazing companions in the field.  He still speaks in Memes, and we are constantly surprised by his stories.  He is serving in East Sacramento currently.

The Moral of the Story

I have watched my parents, myself, and my siblings as well as many of our children begin to become parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. Oftentimes, becoming a parent whips us into shape. As we sat in the nursery that Hannah and Devin had prepared for Darwin recently, we saw it again. Everything in life changes for our children.

The reasons for that are in our divine nature. It is pre-destined to see the members of our family as eternal. We know that we can have a close association with our families forever. Successful families are always established and maintained on principles of trust, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, hard work, and lots of wholesome recreational activities. And we pray for one another. Because we care. 

I took Kristy, against doctor’s orders across the country last Halloween to spend a week with Kevin and Erial and the grandbabies. Why? Because it had to be done.  We love our kids enough to take a risk sometimes. And now we've moved to Chandler, Arizona with Devin & Hannah as they prepare to have baby Darwin. Everything we do is a little crazy.  Somehow, it makes sense.

Merry Christmas to all of our family, friends, and to all who read this.  We hope that you may feel the Light of Christ in your life this Christmas Season.
