The Hendersons!  If you do not know the Henderson Family you are missing out.  Tim, Denise, and their family hold a very special place in our heart.  First of all, before I was even in this picture, Tim played a significant role in Greg's formation as a Christian and man.  He was a father-figure when Greg had none, and Greg holds him in the highest regard.  He is the youth minister at Shiloh (one of our supporting churches).  Kyle and Larissa were also in that same youth group with Greg.  Whenever I would come home with Greg to Tyler we always spent a significant amount of time at the Hendersons.  I learned very quickly that when I married Greg, I would become part of that "family."  Tim counseled us before our marriage, and he drove all the way to my hometown to marry us.

When we spent our 6 months with Shiloh in Tyler the Hendersons offered for us to stay with them.  Greg didn't hesitate.  We lived with them for 6 months and loved every minute of it.  I cherish those 6 months because I was able to cultivate a stronger relationship with them.  Tim and Denise have 5 beautiful children.  During our time there Hannah and Noah were still in the house.  Noah LOVED Ana.  He was the best baby-sitter and we took lots of video of the two of them together.  Ana had many firsts in their home including crawling.  We have so many great memories of our time there.  One thing we always loved doing was staying up late talking over coffee (there was always a fresh batch in the kitchen).  We feel very confident going to Tim and Denise for any "parental wisdom" if we ever need it.

The Hendersons arrive tomorrow morning and are going to stay for 2 weeks.  They are the first Shiloh visitors to come on behalf of the church.  We are excited for them to take a positive report home to our Shiloh family.  Here are a few pictures of our time with them way back in the day.  I know I will not believe how much Noah has grown when I see him!
