We are starting a new series of blogs where we will blog about each child. Hopefully these will give you some insight into their personalities as well as what life has been like for them up to this point. Every time Matt and I have mentioned doing this, the first child that came to mind […]
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 […]
This will probably be the last post about the beginning of school, but it is a very fun one to write. If you recall from previous posts, we have 7 children who did not start school on the same day as everyone else. These are 7 of our children who are a little farther behind, […]
First of all, I wanted to remind everyone of a very important blog series that we are about to start. In the next couple of weeks, you will begin to see blog posts about each of our children. We are hoping to use these blog posts to give each of our sponsors and supporters a […]
Yesterday was the first day of school for the kids! Honestly, I was quite surprised when school started on the actual day that it was supposed to start. I was not, however, as surprised when we received a call at 10:00 yesterday morning that all of the kids were out of school about 3.5 hours […]
Yesterday here in Haiti was one of those days that when we got to the end of it we turned to each other and said “Can you believe we got all of that done today”. So I figured that is worth a blog. Here is our day yesterday… Woke up at 6:00am. My goal was […]

Just to let you know, there is not a lot of school news to fill you in on, so I wanted to post a blog about something that occurred to me as we showed the children the movie “Elf” this past Friday night. First of all, as far as school news goes, we did get […]
I am trying to stay with this blog series about the start of school, but there are so many crazy things to blog about here. Even just recently, we found out that a tropical depression will be hitting here tomorrow evening and that there are 2 more tropical waves that could form soon. Where we […]
We are taking a quick break from our series about starting school here in Haiti. There are so many other things going on down here in conjunction with the start of school including our adoption (click here to read our story and for an option to donate to our adoption), elections, botched election results, and […]
I know right around this time of year a lot of parents reading this have recently experienced back to school shopping with your children. New items from clothing, to new shoes, to school supplies are purchased in order to get your child ready for school. I remember doing this as a child and loving getting […]
Over the next few weeks, we are going to blog about getting our kids ready for school. If you are a parent, you know how difficult it can be to make sure your children are ready, and if you are not a parent then you can remember getting ready for the first day of school […]
