Update

Well more then a month has passed and what a busy month it's been! As for Haiti - we have had our team wrap meeting. Things went fairly well on our trip, not much tweaking to do for 2010. We shared our photos with Hickory Grove and friends. Memories! I miss it so much already. If they asked "Can you come back tomorrow?" I would be there! In heartbeat. Monday night we have a call out meeting for 2010. I want to go, although I am not certain 5 of our children (and Brian too) will let me out of their sight even then, but I am working on them.

As for our family...its wonderful! I love having a big family. Our house is always full and I am learning organization is a must.

Who we are....

Brian and I were married May 25, 2002. He got one of those "package" deals! At the time Nathan was 16 - he is now 25 and Coral was 9 - she is 17. Our family grew in the summer of 2006 when we added Casserra who was 10 - and is now 14. We thought our family was complete, but the Lord wasn't done, so we weren't done...in September of 2009 we add 3 more wonderful children to our family. Nicole who is 16, Joshua 12, and Noah 6 (and he's strong now according to him). It's been a lot of fun! Realizing organization is the key.

Again, we thought we were done, but the Lord let us know He wasn't. We have had the opportunity to foster parent a teenage girl who was expecting and subsequently gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

We continue to be blessed with "new additions" who need a temporary home.

We hope to someday have Nathan's girlfriend Danielle as our daughter-in-law.

I work full-time as does Brian, but fortunately, we live right next door to my parents, who have been a tremendous help!

That's us in a nut shell...click on down to see more details.

Nathan - 25

He lives in Lafayette but in October of 2008, he and his girlfriend purchased 6.5 acres. They intend to build their dream home sometime soon but in the mean time are buillding a pole barn with an apartment. He works for a construction/road construction/do it all type place and LOVES IT! He has a great job and truly enjoys what he does. He gets to play with big boy toys!

Danielle graduated in May 2008 from IUPUI and works for a large health care provider. We could not have hand picked someone better for our son! She is an amazing woman and one we hope to have in our family on a more permanent basis!
