Who We Are . . .
We’re the Babel family. Andy and I [Kandis] have been married for fourteen years. We have four boys. We love hiking, spending time in nature and learning new things together.

We started this website to help keep everyone in the loop about how I am doing, to share God stories and to encourage others who may also be travelling this road.
