I know it is almost February, but we are having our All Things New Christmas party tomorrow! Now, before I get started with the rest of the blog, I want to make sure everyone is aware of the 2 fundraising initiatives we have recently begun as we target different audiences with each. A sponsorship drive. […]
Many of you have received the latest All Things New email informing you that we will no longer be staying on the Hope Rising campus. If you did not receive that email, please click here to read prior to reading the blog. Initially, we knew that our time at Hope Rising could be temporary. They […]
Being here without Jess and Sophie, no matter how many other people are here, can be pretty lonely. If you are lucky enough to be married to someone that you both love and like (especially when they are your best friend) you know what I am talking about. When you get finished with a long […]
I am not sure why, but for some reason I really want to post this blog about what happened to me running today. I will give away the main point of the post right here…I fell completely to the ground twice! It was really embarrassing and I don’t know why I am posting this to […]
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 […]
I’m sitting at the airport in Port Au Prince now about to fly back home to be with Jess and Sophie. I have been away for about 10 days now, and I am really excited about seeing how much Sophie has changed. At the same time, I am really sad that I am leaving the […]
I am sitting here in Haiti just waiting for the kids to come home from school and missing Jess and Sophie back home, so I thought I would take a few minutes to continue our blog series about each of our kids. Our last blog was entitled “Meet Sophie,” and if you click on the […]
I know that many of you got a chance to read Jessica’s blog about our new baby girl, but I couldn’t not write about her too. So today, meet Sophie Hayes Bush…again. Sophie is just over a week old and she is already beautiful and adorable. I know you cannot tell much about a person […]
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 […]
Today it is my pleasure to introduce you to Gueline. She is 17 years old and the oldest child living at Hope Rising. She is tall, beautiful, sweet, and very capable. Her brother, Kervinson, also lives with us. Of all of our kids living at Hope Rising, she and I have battled the most since […]
Today it is my pleasure to introduce you to Herbison, our oldest boy. Herbison is 16 and he is a very typical 16 year old boy. He can be helpful and nice one moment, and then a minute later he can be difficult about the smallest thing. He will volunteer to do some of the […]
