Life in Chicagoland

We are in the second year of our internship experience at Willow Creek. During this season of our lives we are attempting to balance Seminary work, caring for a sweet little baby girl and still adjusting to life away from our friends and family. We couldn't be more excited about all that God has in store for us!

This blog will be our attempt to share the struggles and joys of this experience...as well as some pictures and an occasional video. We welcome your feedback and comments and will do our best to keep up with the blog on a regular basis!

Enjoy!
Marc, Keri & Leah

Leah Olivia Ladouceur

Our "little" girl joined us on 2/6/09 at 11:11pm. She was 21 inches long and weighed 9 lbs. and 3 oz. She is so beautiful! I'll post more soon about the experience, but for now I wanted to introduce you! She is currently in the NICU for some fluid in her lungs, but the doctors have assured us that everything is going to be good. They have planned on keeping her there for about a week. Keep praying for us!
