Shannon and Isla Branstner, Lansing residents
“We are just coming back from Texas from visiting my parents. It was a big transition. My mom is 80 and my dad is 73 and they downsized (from) the house they lived in for 37 years. We were down there helping them move into a smaller home. ... We were visiting our ‘cousin’ Zoey, who was my childhood friend — she has a daughter her age. We kind of got married around the same time, got pregnant around the same time. It wasn’t planned.”
