Chris Keith

I can’t believe 2024 is 3/4 over. Seems like it just started. But, I guess time flies even more, the older you get. We are cruising along trying to enjoy this tidal waive of craziness. There is our 5 kids but also we have finally landed in a neighborhood with a lot of kids around and we are loving it.

Update : Dylan is 20 and going to school down at College Station. I mainly hear from him when he needs money or a login to one of our shared streaming sites. haha!He is a great kid (I guess an adult now) and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for him.

Isabel is 12 now and she is enjoying middle school as much as you can. (Am I right?) She has done horseback riding and a little bit of golf over the last few years. She is now planning on trying out for the basketball team at school soon. With a family that plays a lot of basketball, Isabel is in great hands and has trainers all around. Stay tuned for that!

Arlo is 10 and keeping us all busy with his sports. He is currently playing basketball and baseball. We just cross our fingers and hope there aren’t too many conflicts as fall baseball just started and he is also currently doing AAU basketball with tournaments on the weekends. Sometimes I just feel like a professional chauffeur (that doesn’t get paid).

Violet (5yrs) and Liam (4yrs) are keeping us busy as well. They both started Pre-K this year and are loving school. They are still getting used to getting up early every day but they LOVE riding the bus with their neighbors and playing late into the night (on weekends) with the neighbors in the cul-de-sac.

And of course the glue holding this crazy family together is Crystal (29yrs?) She is a great wife/mother and we don’t know what we would do without her to make sure everyone has what they need to navigate through the day.

Hmmm, update on me…Well, just trying to keep schedules together at home while also ‘saving lives’ at work. I have the pleasure/honor to work with several non-profits (Choose Courage Foundation and HoopsForHIM) and help them with anything they need whether it’s speaking, tech, websites, video editing and my favorite, drone pics/videos.

That should be enough of an update for now. Stay tuned and hopefully I’ll update this site more often for anyone that likes to see updates on the Keiths.

I guess I should update about my life every 5 years or so. haha

I stopped updating this site because I assumed nobody read it but either way, I will try to update it more because it is a nice archive that I can look back on later and enjoy reading.

I used to travel the country and share about what God has done in my life. Currently, I haven’t traveled in a few years and have only done a few engagements locally. Sooo boring, right?

Not exactly. The events in my life just took a shift. I feel busier than ever and my wife does most of the work in the family. I am currently (how many times will I say currently in this post?) living in Aledo, Tx with our 3 bio kids and 2 foster kiddos. I work mainly in automation/creating scripts to improve productivity for my company.

Dylan (17), Isabel (9), and Arlo (7) are keeping us busy this summer with camps and sports in general. Our 2 babies that are with us now have completely shifted our lives around since they came to live with us. We weren’t expecting to get babies so Crystal and I, along with the 3 kids, had to do some major readjusting, haha.

The babies were 7 months and 19 months old when they came to live with us in March of this year. We couldn’t have done it with out the love and help from some great friends. Several people from our church and several people from my work all came together and within a few days we had 2 cribs, 2 car seats, a double stroller, several months supply of diapers and wipes. And of course a huge shoutout to my co-worker that mailed us a Diaper Genie. WITH REFILLS!!! That has been a lifesaver.

These babies are keeping us on our toes but anytime I start to feel ‘woah is me’, I just think about what they’ve been through in their short life and I stop feeling sorry for myself and just ‘press on’. These babies could be with us for 6 more months or these babies could end up being with us forever. Time will tell. But one thing is for certain, they are getting more love from our family than they have ever seen. And we know that is our job right now.

They command so much attention, you know, being babies and all. I sometimes have to take a step back and remember that my bio kids need just as much attention. Where my parents of 5 at? How do you split your time amongst all of your kids?

Well, that is probably enough for this update. We are braving the beach in a few days. Some may say a ‘vacation’. But for me it is kind of just stressing out in a new location. That is something I need to work on. I will do my best to enjoy and soak in every moment of this quick trip down south.

These kids are keeping me busy.

2014 was a crazy and eventful year! I realized as I am writing this, that I say ‘crazy year’ almost every time I post an update. But I guess that’s a good thing. Who wants a boring life? Not me. I was talking to my wife about this last night. We feel so busy yet it’s a good thing to be running around all the time. With all the things coming up we are anxious and ‘on our toes’ to see what doors God opens up for our family.

My third child was born on June 24th of 2014 and we couldn’t be happier. Well, I lied. I think I could be happier if Read the rest of this entry »

Performed by Dylan and his friend Johann at the CLPS talent show.

This routine is about the conversation that must have happened between the Lord and Noah.

We are honored to be a part of such a great documentary focusing on the ever growing problem of fatherlessness in our world today. My story is in the film as well as some other really great stories. CIY did a great job on this film. Its about 52 minutes long. Let me know what you think. Enjoy!
