FAMILY NEWS

Announcing the birth of:
Brandon Alan Deasy
To parents Justin and Holly Deasy in Los Angeles, CA

October 5, 2011
8 pounds, 21 inches

Yes, we were able to make it in before the big event! We spent a week with the expecting parents before the birth, shared that special event with them, and then stayed for a couple of weeks after. What a blessing! Not one we take for granted, seeing how we live on the other side of the world. Jackie flew out and joined the celebration for a few days before we joined her in returning to Kentucky and Tennessee to visit with Jeff's mom and Jackie, Brian, and Grandson Kyle for a week before we returned to Kenya the end of October. What a blessing! We are SO very thankful for our family and being able to visit with everyone. As you can imagine, it was difficult to say goodbye!

This Christmas it looks like Justin and Holly will be flying to Kentucky to visit with Jeff's mother for the holiday and Jackie and Brian are making plans to join them there. This will be a treat as our family is so spread out that having a holiday together doesn't happen very often. This time around we'll not be able to join them but we are grateful they'll all be together just the same. Frances will get to meet her new great grandson for the first time as well! Pray for safety in traveling and a good holiday memory for them all.
