3 boys. 1 girl. 2 parents. 1 dog. 1 snake.
That’s who lives at the Nowell house these days. One very big happy family. I know 6 people doesn’t sound like a lot, but our family extends further than those who live under our roof, although that number increased this month too.
This is Mat. He’s the newest member of the honorary Nowell family, and he lives with us. Mat is witty, goofy, and proficient at X-box. We’ve all enjoyed having him here even though he brought his snake with him. I’m kidding. He has blended right in, which was our prayer. Yay God!
We have family from all parts of our life: Blood relatives, old church friends, former youth group kids who are now adults, summer interns, supporters of our ministry, people who’ve mentored us and spoken life over us, people we mentor, street friends and those who aren’t homeless anymore, friends we’ve met online and will someday meet face to face, current church friends, neighbors, former co-workers, camp friends, college friends, the list goes on.
I love my family. 🙂
You have a great family. I’m glad God brought Mat into your life. Maybe you all needed this.

Welcome Mat! Looks like he’ll fit right in. Just worried about the snake fitting it…
