This dates from 2004 but it is my favorite picture of us.  No kids this time, because by August we won't have any of them here.  Celeste has been cancer-free for four years now.

Vacation pages have lots of photos so will probably load slowly. As the Scripture says, be patient...

Our Christmas photo pages...

David and Celeste met while he was in Gordon-Conwell Seminary in Massachusetts and served their first church in West Lafayette, Ohio. We moved to Ledgewood in 1989. Our house is right next to the church and is infamous for the tall skateboard ramps in the backyard. We homeschooled all our children before sending them to Roxbury High School.

Celeste is a registered nurse and works in the Kessler-Welkind Rehabilitative Center.  In the autumn of 2005 she was diagnosed with stage III uterine cancer, but has been in remission following chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
 

 

Our ministry has a special emphasis on Bible studies and one-on-one discipleship. Celeste also has a gift at youth work.

Our passions in life include hiking, camping in National Parks, and bike riding. David is an avid amateur astronomer and has observed over 400 asteroids and 600 galaxies with his 10" Dobsonian telescope. He is a member of the New Jersey Astronomical Association. He is also a stained-glass hobbyist.

Our dog Ollie, alas, is now departed, and our cat Genius rules the roost.
