Close Connections Are Something That Our Kids Often Lack
Our 2026 is off to a frosty start and we hope all of you are staying warm and enjoying these moments with your loved ones! Snow days around here probably look a lot like some of yours. After we bundle up to take care of our ranch animals, shovel sidewalks and stack the boiler, we then make lots of time for sledding, snowtubing, snowball fights and igloos. It also gives us extra time for puzzles, movies and board games. These are some of our favorite times to slow down and build new memories lots of time for sledding, snowtubing, snowball fights and igloos.

Building new memories and with them, newfound trust and security, is what we’re all about in our homes. Close connections are something that our kids often lack and need extra support in making. Each child comes carrying their own baggage and we get to meet them where they are and show them that they no longer need to carry things on their own. We are so thankful for a Savior who offers us the chance to come to Him and find rest. With rest in Him and connections established at Shiloh, our kids can face the storms that may linger. Your support makes all this possible, and we are eternally grateful.
Our house is currently home to ten children. We have Jacob, 17, who loves all things western. He is transitioning into adulthood, and we cherish the role we have. Kierslynn is 16, loves music and art. Clara just had her 16th birthday, and she loves reading and ceramics. Zyarie also just had a birthday and turned 15. He enjoys playing and watching basketball. Naomi had our 3rd birthday of the year and just turned 14. She loves shopping and time with her friends. Zeke is 13, and like Zyarie, he enjoys watching and playing basketball. Kate is 13 as well, and she likes reading and crafts. Our newest addition is also 13, Ciara. Ciara comes to us from Oklahoma and enjoys reading books. Edith is 11 and loves animals and enjoys reading. Lastly, we have Michael, who is also 11, and also new to our home. Michael comes to us from Kansas and enjoys playing with Legos. Each of our kids fill a special role in our family and we appreciate the ability to see them blossom into their purpose.
Once again, we want to always extend our gratitude to all of you for partnering with us on this journey. Whether it’s through prayers, notes of encouragement, time on our ranch or monetary support, we are greatly encouraged by your partnership. The memories of hot cocoa, game competitions, snow forts and ice skating are all made possible by your support. May the Lord bless, guide and grow you through this year.
In Him, Jeremy, Ashley & Cohn Crew
