Welcome!

Welcome to our new blog! Brook and I hope that this will be a convenient way for our friends and family members to keep up with what is happening in our lives. So the question is...what is happening?

As most of you know, Brook and I helped lead a group of nine high school students to Russia this summer. We spent 26 days touring around the Moscow region and even up towards St. Petersburg. Even though a lot of things went wrong during this trip, God showed his faithfulness and blessed us all the more. For more details, check out a separate blog that our team kept during the trip at http://ycewrussia.blogspot.com/

This summer, we also decided to finally bite the bullet and add on to our family. Due to be born in mid-September will be our newest member of the family...a chocolate lab. We have already decided on the name "Kenji." Kenji is due home in November. So we have been busy puppy proofing our yard.

Brook is still working for the State of Oregon doing Child Welfare and I am still at DeLap White Caldwell & Croy, LLP working as a CPA. Neither of our employers have fired us yet, so I guess we must be doing good work!

Stay tuned for more postings! We hope to keep this fairly well updated.
