Quick Baby Center Update

Friends,

We have been back in Kenya for a few weeks now and have pretty much readjusted to life. It has been interesting to discover what was easy and what was more difficult to readjust to. We quickly remembered how to drive of the left side of the road, how to arrive quite late for events. We forgot the long lines and sometimes ridiculous inefficiency that occurs in government offices. Cason came back to the office to a crashed computer so he had jump right back into work.

Zeke got so much bigger while we were gone... he's such a cutie!:

I went straight out to see my babies the day we arrived in Nakuru. I was able to spend a week with them and then promptly got sick and have had to spend almost a week without them! Fortunately I’m on the road to recovery and will be back out there soon.

At the baby Center we have three beautiful new additions to our family!

Nathan

Gloria

Joel

While we were gone baby Phyllis and Jessica were also adopted out to wonderful parents. Praise the Lord that they are with loving families now.

Thank you all for keeping up with us! We’ll be writing more soon. There are some exciting things happening at the AGC Baby Centre!

Here are pictures of Phyllis and Jessica... I miss them, but am so glad that they now each have a mom and a dad!

Beautiful Phyllis

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.
