About the Author

With three grandchildren now, Julie and David especially love watching Christmas unfold and anticipating the birthday of Jesus through the eyes of little ones.

Julie, a former public school teacher and homeschooling mommy, has a master's degree in early childhood education. David, a former medical entomologist for the US Navy and wildlife biologist for an army installation, has a master's degree in entomology and a biology undergraduate degree.

Since David retired, Julie and David enjoy more time with their children and grandchildren, spend hours outdoors observing God's beautiful creations, and find lots of time to write together. They are the authors of books, magazine and newspaper articles, and devotions.

Their most favorite hats to wear? Mommy and Grandmommy, Daddy and Granddaddy.
