Welcome to our blog!
I am not sure how much writing we will do but we will be adding pictures from time to time. We began our blog in Romania where we lived for over nine years. The Lord called us to Romania in 1998 (arriving in Feb. 1999). We had an amazing adventure with Him. He allowed us to see him minister in many ways in Romania. We were able to see first hand political and economic changes but also enjoy its beauty when we were out in the countryside. Checkout the Bucharest and Romania slideshows on this blog.
We are now back in Texas waiting to see what the Lord has planned for us.
Our Oldest is 25!
It is hard to imagine it has been 25 years since Nathaniel Phillips Russell came into our lives on July 7, 1984. We were living in Nacogdoches when Nathaniel was born. He weighed in at 8 lbs. 2 3.4 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. I had been wanting a girl (we did not have a sonagram) but when I heard Nathaniel's first cry I was in love! And of course my love for him as grown deeper ever since!

25 years after Nathaniel's birth, he and Kelly have blessed us with a beautiful granddaughter, Avery May.
Happy 25th Birthday Nathaniel!
I love you!
