Leigha Christine

Our Leigha came home for about a month and a half for the wedding. It was such a blessing to have her home.

She was a huge help getting ready for the wedding and did a beautiful job on my hair.

I was so blessed to have her as my maid of honor.

After Justin and I left for our honeymoon Leigha and the rest of the kids enjoyed some great ice skating with the bridesmaids who were still here for a few days.

On January 20th Leigha flew back to India and will be there until the first of June. This particular trip has been a lot more difficult for her than others in the past because she has had some major health struggles. There have been a lot of people praying for her and the Lord has graciously blessed her with complete healing. We miss our fun-loving sister, and friend but we have all been so excited to see what the Lord has been doing through her to further His work.

Zachary Isaac

So where is Zach these days? He is actually in India!


He is living just a few houses down from Leigha and working in the boys' hostel (a christian boarding school.) He left on March 20th and will be there until Leigha comes home in June. Leigha is thrilled to have him there and they are really enjoying working together.

Zach tends to be more on the quiet side, but he is a lot of fun. He has a real heart for animals and loves his cat Tigger.

He loves photography and is always looking for new things that he can learn to make his pictures better. He was quite disappointed that he couldn't take his big camera with him to India!

We miss you Zach!
