Welcome to our bloggaroo!
Our life as a family of four has been full of fun. Watching Gloria and Elizabeth play and interact is such a joy and we rejoice in the blessing they are to us. Tricia and I have recently celebrated our sixth anniversary and this year we have said Yes! to taking a leap of faith by traveling with a group from Summit Church in Orlando (where my best bro-man Rene is on staff). We will be going to Malawi in Africa and working with an organization called Children of the Nations. Our journey is from July 19th-August 3rd, 2009. We are still praying about the details regarding the care of the girls while we are gone. We are grateful that both our mothers have offered to come to our neck of the woods and watch the girls for a portion of our absence. This will be a great challenge for all of us! We appreciate your support and we ask that you pray for us (we sure need it). We hope to make this an interactive blog so feel free to leave comments, questions, concerns, yada yada yada... Eddie and Tricia
