She's Arrived!

Dear Friends,

       I know it has been a while since we have last written to all of you and there has been a lot of exciting new events that have taken place in the Puckett Family. First off we are delighted to introduce to you Miss Elyana Elysa Puckett, the newest addition to the Puckett crew. Elyana means "God has answered" in Hebrew, and as most of you know, Elyana is definitely an answer to prayer after having the two miscarriages last year. She made her entrance on Wed., November 9th weighing in at 8 pounds 1 ounce and 20.5 inches.  It has been a joy over the last week to see Ramiyah loving on her new baby sister.  She wants to hold her all the time and has instantly turned into a wonderful big sister for now (haha).  Please pray for us as we travel through the wonders of being a family of four now.


       On top of having a new baby as you all know I have been enrolled in seminary and taking a full load of five classes, and I am approaching my last two weeks of my first full semester. Seminary has definitely been very time consuming from tests, to quizzes, to homework, and most of all lots of reading.  Since January I have read more books than I have  probably read in my whole life that range from 100 to over a 1000 pages.  Having a family, seminary, and working at the church have really caused me to become more disciplined with my time and how I steward it.  Pray for me because my natural tendency is to want to do everything at 100% and that is pretty much impossible, so please keep me in your prayers as I definitely don’t want to punt on the things that are most
important to me like family.

 A Word From Kaley
We are a family of FOUR! I still  cannot believe these two little princesses are ours! I am so thankful for how God has blessed us, but it definitely has been an adjustment having two! Getting used to Derrick’s schedule with work and school was difficult before Elyana was born and now that she is here I am a little overwhelmed thinking about how life will be when Derrick goes back to work. So please keep us in your prayers as we embark on this new adventure as a family of four! Please  continue to keep us in your prayers as we are in this new season of life.
