Muldoon Welcomes a Christmas Baby

Just before Christmas the Muldoon population grew by one. Madison and Julio Castellano welcomed a beautiful baby boy on Dec. 22 just in time for Christmas. Thomas James weighted six pounds eleven ounces and measured nineteen inches long. Pimy and Michael Saunders are the proud grandparents of Thomas James and he is welcomed by great-grandparents are Mike and Joy Hostetter. Thomas was welcomed home by his big sister Katie. This is a wonderful way to end the year in our small community.

Illness in Area 

There are a number in the

community who have been having a hard time with illnesses. The flu especially has hit some. There also is a different bug going around that makes one feel as bad as having the flu, but isn’t. Check on your neighbors and make sure they are doing OK in the New Year.

Weather 

2025 made one last effort to leave a lasting impression as the last Monday of the year was rather blustery. Strong cold winds blew in and made it feel really nasty when a light mist was added to the mix.
