Obed

This is Obed. We "adopted" him through World Vision. Jacqulin and Luke like to tell everyone we adopted him but it's really a sponsorship. As Jacqulin said "we don't actually get to keep him."



We have been looking for a way to honor and remember Olivia. She actually died on February 15, 2005 so, we found a child that was born the same day she died. It's nice to know that there was happiness on the same day that we had such great sadness come in to our lives.
So, Obed is 4 years old and in lives in Rwanda. When this sweet little face comes to your mind please say a prayer for him.

Be sure to keep us updated on Obed. What a sweet face. His name begins with "O" too.

Deb, You and your family are wonderful. Obed is a great addition to our family. Just look at those eyes. I think of you often and wish we could get together once in a while. Love you and the kids and Bert and Obed.
