We are currently pastoring a very very small country church in Erie County, PA. We dearly love it here. This country girl loves being back in farm country! If you would like to see some pictures of our church you can visit http://www.keepvillechurch.com/. We have a fantastic church family and we love them dearly.
We have been married 12 yrs and have 4 children. Kenton is 7 and is about to start his second year of homeschooling (2nd grade). Vincent is 5 and is about to start kindergarten at the local public school. We thank the Lord for a wonderful, farm community elementary school where there is wonderful Christian teachers. Kendra is 3.5 and is our ultra sensitive little girl. She is our worrier and little mommy!! She must be able to see or account for her 3 siblings at all times or she literally falls apart in hysterics. Alyssa is 2.5 and has made it her life's goal to keep her siblings on the straight and narrow. She can often be seen with her little pointer finger wagging away at them while giving a stern lecture.
Currently we only have 2 pets - Tally (short for Talledaga) our choc. lab and Blacky, our black (who'd have guessed?) cat. We also own a bull named "T-bone". He is currently being boarded by a local farmer but he lived here at our place until just recently. He was a very fun bull and the kids had a blast with him. However, he was very much a pet and as his name implies, his ultimate end has already been predetermined and Byron says, "we don't eat pets" so we have moved him off our property so as to break the attachment to him.
Byron is currently 1/3 of the way through his masters program through Indiana Wesleyan University. He is doing the online program - Masters in Education. He is doing very well and I am so proud of him!! Being a pastor, dad, husband and student is challenging!
I am Mom, wife, Pastor's wife, teacher and anything else that needs done usually passes by me as well. I am not complaining - I love my life and I am so thankful God chose to use me in the ways He has.
Here are our kids at Cabella's . I apologize that my girls did not see the importance of pulling down their skirts before the picture!!

This is "T-bone" and Kendra taking one last ride before he
left to go to his new home.
This is Kenton and Talley. Talley was Kenton's 7th birthday present.

Our newfound familiarity with your people has brought gladness to our hearts.
The good behavior of your young creatures, emphasized by the good training and heavy hand no doubt experienced by thine subjects, is evidenced in the character and deportment of your descendants.
Oh, Gurnees, may your progeny increase like the small cattle; and grow to be strong, obedient, and noble.
That from your bloodline may arise, men of intrepidity, and women of honor, that make shake the generations to come, with their influence and feats of valor.
And so, from our realms to yours, may the peasants not revolt, the taxes support the seat of government, and morale remain ever high.
With much mutual respect,
