Crazy New Life We are a little behind on our updates. If I could put raising 3 kids three years of age and under in one word it would be CRAZY! We knew it would be, but THIS level of crazy was beyond what we imagined. We are having a wonderful time with our three…

I have not posted on here in a while because I’ve been concentrating on keeping everyone informed through Facebook. So many of you prayed and are still praying for our little Malachi. This is our way of saying “thank you”. If you are a church and your church prayed for us, please feel free to…

I have a personal journal. I’ve been meaning to write in it since the birth but I have not been able to. I opened it up curious to see what my thoughts were before the birth and this is what I found: ‘Twas the night before Malachi’s birth, and I’m all excited and nervous. I…

This is probably repeat information to most of you but I need all prayers on deck this morning. Most of you know that our newborn son Malachi was born with pneumonia. He has been on a ventilator since birth. I am a bundle of nerves as we prepare for today. Today they plan to take…
