We have five very special little people that God has placed into our lives.  Noah Keller,  Shaina Elysse, Katherine Joanne, Wesley Michael, & Caleb Nathaniel is our newest addition.  They each bring such joy and delight to our hearts and we thank God continually for allowing us the privilege of raising them for Him.   What a responsibility and cause for daily prayer!  Our greatest desire is to raise another generation who will never lag in zeal and in ernest endeavor but always be aglow, burning with the Spirit of God in their heart, serving the Lord! 

Romans 12:11 (Amplified Bible)

Testing, Tears, and Triumph:

Many of you know that Carlee was diagnosed with breast cancer on May 29, 2009.  When Caleb was born on June 19th, he was admitted to NICU where he spent the first three weeks of his life.  The first week was extremely difficult, as Carlee began testing to determine the extent of her cancer, and wee Caleb fought for his little life. 

That was only the beginning of this journey.  We gratefully report that Caleb is well and thriving. (And the happiest, fattest, jolliest baby EVER!)  Carlee underwent 6 rounds of chemo, a double mastectomy in December, and is in Ohio with the children completing 6 weeks of radiation. 

As we said in the Christmas card we put together (and are still working on getting sent out.... ) this year has seen the devastating entwined with the Divine. We are so grateful for the prayers of friends and strangers alike. Bless you all for taking our burden as your own!
