December 2016
Dear Friends and Family:
Greetings from the Jeschke clan! We send our warmest wishes for a joyous
Christmas season and a blessed New Year! 2016 brought its share of blessings
and challenges. Our greatest blessings this year were celebrating 40 (!) years
of marriage and welcoming three new grandchildren: giving us 9 adult children, and
9 granddaughters & 9 grandsons. The tie will break in June when we expect
the arrival of grandson #10. Another
great blessing this year was the graduation of “our baby” from Christopher
Newport University. We can now proudly claim that all nine Jeschke children
have graduated from college! We are
thrilled to announce his recent engagement to his college sweetheart. Our clan continues to grow, but we
have taken the bold step of drastically down-sizing. After six exhausting months of purging all the
“stuff” of two households (ours and my parents’), selling our Manassas house,
and moving, we are slowly unpacking and settling into a condo in a waterfront
community along the Occoquan River. Our drive to our church The King’s Chapel
is actually a bit shorter (and much more scenic), and the view of the river
from our large windows and balcony is serenely beautiful. We live next to a
defunct golf course with access to numerous trails along the river and bay and
can take a short walk down to a lovely marina and a national wildlife preserve. After the holidays, we look forward to getting
beyond the business of moving and begin actually living here in this spectacular setting.
May the
Prince of Peace, Jesus the Christ, our Savior and Lord, be born anew in our
hearts today!
Merry Christmas! God bless us,
every one!
Many blessings,
Melanie Jeschke
