A few pictures...

Here is a picture of Colleen and our dog Tucker (he came with the house), with the back of our house in the background. We love the upper balcony off of our bedroom and the lower porch that overlook our backyard.

Colleen loves the mosquito net over our bed…

Colleen on the swing in our backyard… even though it is a bit dry, our yard really is amazingly beautiful. Colleen has seen all kinds of birds while sitting out on her porch.
Our little gecko friend that Colleen couldn’t resist trying to touch… see the post below for the story about how chaos ensued.

The photos are worth a 1000 words! Love Tucker and the pink vine... a bougainvillea? over your swing. Looking forward to pictures of the babies at the baby center. Praying for your settling in in Nakuru.

About us

We’re Cason & Colleen. We met at Taylor University in Indiana, and started dating while studying abroad in Ireland in 2004. We got married a few years ago and since then we’ve been enjoying journeying with the Lord together.

For photos and videos mostly of our kids, you can find us on Facebook (Colleen & Cason), Instagram (Colleen & Cason), or Youtube.

We started this blog in 2009 before we left to work in Kenya, but now that we’re back, we’re going to try to keep it updated with what is going on in our lives. We were in Kenya for almost a year and a half, and while we were there, Cason worked as the treasurer for a mission organization, and Colleen worked at an orphanage for 0-4 year old children. Cason also helped organize a local soccer team, and we both led a local church youth group.

We returned to the US in December 2010 and spent a few months based at Colleen’s parent’s home in Wooster, Ohio, while we figured out what was next for us. We were trying to seek the Lord during that time, but it was/is difficult to know what to do, especially with all that has happened in our lives the last few months in Kenya (see our blog archive).

The first few months in Wooster, Cason continued to work remotely as the treasurer for the mission, while Colleen helped care for the family puppies. (Cason ran the puppy blog, DoodlesbyRosie).

After taking some time to travel and visit friends and family, we ended up moving to Danville, Kentucky, south of Lexington, to be closer to Colleen's extended family and some good friends. Cason works in the finance department at the local hospital, and Colleen has been substitute teaching and volunteering at the humane society. We've gotten involved at a local church, and are loving the community there. We're also in the process of adopting domestically, and have revived the blog, in part, to document those proceedings.
