A picture of a baby!

This picture was from our first trip to the Baby Center where Colleen will be working. This little one is named Precious Angel... most of the 30 children have Biblical names, but Precious was named before she got there. Colleen starts work at the Baby Center this week doing education and development with the children, so keep her in your prayers!

In other news, I (Cason) drove for the first time today on the busy roads of Nakuru, which was quite an experience. I managed to stay on the correct side of the road, but didn't always know the proper edicate for the alleyways and free-for-all roundabouts. I think I am going to need to drive a bit more aggresively to be a real Kenyan. This week is also full of on the job training for me, and there is alot to keep up with and remember, so I appreciate your prayers for that as well.

That's all for now! Thanks for your prayers and support, and for checking the blog! We miss you all (almost as much as Colleen misses Papa Johns...)

Verse of the day from our morning devo: "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." What am amazing thing to be able to say! That is what we are striving for day after day - to completely submit to His will. God Bless!

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.
