If you missed the last blog, please click here and read it first. The last blog sets the tone for this one and the one to follow. I want to start out with what I feel like is the biggest spiritual need in our area of Haiti. I know that some people will disagree with […]
If you missed part 1 of this post, click here and catch up! Car Rides. This time 2 weeks ago, a car ride consisted of us buckling Sophie into her car seat with some toys, turning on the AC full blast, and pulling out onto safe, paved roads with order and actual stop lights. […]
I want to begin by thanking everyone who made this fundraiser a success. I would thank every person individually but I know if I tried that I would forget some key people and I do not want to do that. I do want to say thank you to Jessica’s parents, Phil and Jill Atter, for […]
If you remember from our previous post, Friday was such a long day that we had to break it up into 2 parts! If you missed “Moving In Day 2 (Part 1)” please click on the link to read it or this blog will not make any sense! I will pick up right where I […]
It is so strange to be writing this blog from Haiti again while Jess and Sophie are back in America without me. I have said this before, but I have no idea how military families do it. It is such a huge sacrifice that I could have never comprehended before I had to leave my […]
It’s been a while since our last blog, but we are back at it now that the holidays are over. As you know, 2015 was a crazy year for All Things New, for Jess and I personally, and for our kids in Haiti. We added a new member to our family (Sophie), we moved our […]
Today it is my pleasure to introduce you to Sophie Hayes Bush. Sophie came into the world last Monday night, November 2 at 9:50pm. She weighed 8 pounds and 11 oz. She is beautiful, sweet, and pretty much perfect. Just like with the blogs about the rest of our kids, let me first share some […]
Most of you know that Jessica and I have been in the process of adopting a child for 3 years now. We started by trying to adopt children in Ethiopia, but because of the political climate there, we were not able to complete that adoption. We spent a lot of money trying to stick out […]
As many of you know, we have been in the process of adoption for almost 3 years now. We began this process prior to accepting GOD’s call to start and run All Things New and to move to Haiti to take care of our children. It has been a long road (to read our adoption story, […]
Some of you may be wondering why I never came back to our 2 children whose Mom did not show up on Saturday. I didn’t forget, I just wanted to tell this story by itself so you could hear specifically what happened to these 2. First of all, some of you may be wondering, “Why […]
We go back to Haiti early Friday morning, and we can’t wait. It has been a great time back in the states for the last month, and we have done a lot of things that we needed and wanted to do. I just wanted to take some time to recap our time here and to […]
It has been so great having a team down with us for the past week, and we have done some incredible things. We built a new building for our security guard to sit to stay out of the elements, we went to church with the kids, we brought the kids new school shoes, and we […]
