We're still here...

I've taken somewhat of a sabbatical from blogging for the past few months.   Actually, I've taken somewhat of a sabbatical from just about everything since Wes' near-fatal car crash in Jan.  I cannot begin to tell you how deeply that affected me.  All of us.  

Deeply.

Drivers side door where the pole caved it in on Wes.
Rachel is sitting where the car hit one of the poles.

Our miracle today!

Wes is completely healed physically, PTL, and continues his long road of recovery from the TBI.

Life goes on and we adjust to what comes our way.  


LOTS of things have come our way since Jan, so I'm pretty much just going to do one long catch-up post in pictures.  

Enjoy!

Yep!  We've been busy around here.  

With 10 kids, it's hard to not

be busy!!!!!

I'm still forever advocating for orphans around the world, mostly through FB, but will start back up on the blog again now.

Thank you for your continued prayers for our family as we continue to chase God's calling wherever He leads.
