With Derrick visiting from Wisconsin and Adam and Valerie nearby, Robert and Kendalyn Staddon invited “The Wallers” over for some fun. Priscilla quickly put together some home-made cheese cake that really hit the spot. Since Adam and Valerie are expecting a little baby we had to aim for foods Valerie felt up to eating. She really has been craving Mac ‘n Cheese. Adam, being quick witted added a few Macaroni noodles to the dessert making it “Mac ‘n Cheesecake.” We played an intense game of Settlers of Catan and enjoyed some great fellowship. What a blessing to have Godly friends like the Staddons and to enjoy such great fun with siblings. It is also nice to have fun evenings like this as the days roll on toward the arrival of our little Waller and Priscilla feels more and more ready for David to take a few turns carrying the baby. 🙂

Hello David and Priscilla, Once again Congrats on being soon to be parents! When is Priscilla due? Take care! Can’t wait to hear back from you! God Bless both of you!
Thanks Priscilla for the recipe it was our 5 year wedding annaversiry last night and I made it for my hubby he loved it! We did’nt have any walnuts so I borrowed some pecans from my neighbour which worked well! Blessings
Anxiously awaiting news of your little one’s arrival. Getting so close!
Also, congratulations to Adam and Valerie! I hope they update their blog and tell us more about their baby on the way.
Congratulations to Adam and Valerie — I’m so glad to hear that they will be joining you in the adventure that is parenthood and that your little boy will have a new cousin to play with. Thinking of you and all the Waller children (now and to be). May Priscilla have an easy and safe delivery and Valerie, a peaceful pregnancy.

I always enjoy looking at your pictures. And her very soon you will have another blessing to add to the mix!!!
It was such a fun evening! Thank you for coming and making it fun!
Can you update us on Priscilla’s sister Esther? Lots of people are very concerned and would like to know how she is.
Praying for a healthy birth.
Thank you for your prayers. Esther and Priscilla talk regularly and as of a few days ago, she was doing well. No baby here yet for Priscilla or Esther. Fun though to have sisters pregnant at the same time.
I also hear that Susanna just had a baby! How is she doing? Have you met her new little one yet? It will be so fun for your new little guys to get together!
That makes four new Keller babies in a row! What a blessing!
How exciting for the Keller grandparents to be getting 3 grandchildren within the same year!!!
So happy for Adam and Valerie! Welcome Abigail Renee Waller! We are so happy you are here! (Priscilla, we will have to talk more about the gifts! I think I can have it done in about a week! I will shoot you an e-mail!)
