Crew
Amanda (me): I'm a recent stay-at-home mommy to two wonderful babies. I have an adoring husband who travels far more than I wish, but we make it work. I'm a believer. I know that God has placed us right where we are...which makes my husbands travels easier to handle. I'm just trying to serve my Lord, serve my husband and God-fearing kids. I talk a lot. I'm an open book. I ramble…which is why I have a blog.
Chad: My amazing husband. He has the coolest job ever and most importantly, he LOVES what he does. EP (the executive producer around here) is committed to bringing good movies to the big screen. He's also the most patient person I know. We really do marry our opposites. He has a passionate love for Jesus and strives to do all things for His Glory.
Kai: My 5 year old (baby) boy. Kai (our Stunt Boy) is all boy... he loves riding his bike, being goofy and talking about poop. But, he also has extremely gentle spirit. It takes very little to hurt his feelings, he always understands when I need a hug, and he's becoming a mighty man of God.
Kenlee: Our precious almost two year old baby girl. Kenlee (our Starlet) has a mind all of her own. At this young age she already shows she one to reckon with. She refuses to see that she is significantly younger than her big brother and his friends.
