We're Expecting!


Yes, you heard me right. We are expecting!

It has now been over a year since we added a baby to the Seay family. That might be a record for us.
But God is doing something different in our family. As you already know, we are family that believes in adoption.
God has blessed us with a beautiful daughter by adoption. God has given us 2 amazing grandsons by adoption.
And now we wait for the grandchildren that God is adding to our family from Ethiopia.

We are so excited about God's plan. God has called Brian and Amy to pursue adoption. He showed them the country
they were to go to and He will soon show them the children He has already planned to bring to their family.

Please pray for them - for the journey that can be long - for their preparations - for their finances.
In the future we will be sharing ways that you can be a part of helping with the enormous cost of completing the adoption.

If you want to follow their journey visit them at brianseay.wordpress.com or at blessingsoverseays.wordpress.com

Seay Family Christmas Spectacular



Every year during the Christmas holidays the whole Seay family gets together. It is always an amazing time. 15 cousins form the Cousins Club and they absolutely love getting to spend 3 days playing together.

We feed 26 people 3 meals a day with a couple of snacks thrown in and we sleep people all over the house.

This year Pop-Pop put on a big fireworks show. We built a bonfire and made s'mores.

The cousins put on the Cousins Showcase - sharing their talents with the family. What an evening - ballet, piano, singing, song writing, running cheetahs, magic shows and hip-hop. What an amazing bunch of kids.

But.. one thing we shared this year was a particularly violent strain of the flu and strep. It started with one or two and within 3 days almost half of our family was sick.

We all had a great time together but we could rename the whole event as the Seay Family Christmas Epidemic. Perhaps next year flu shots will be required to attend:)
