Over the next few days, I am going to tell you guys some of the fun, cute, and difficult stories that have happened here over the past couple of weeks. If you have kids, then you know that there could be many stories each day told about the funny things they have done or said, […]
If you did not get a chance to read the last 2 blogs, please click here to read the first one and here to read the second so that you can see why we are putting these statements out there. If you currently live in Haiti, have ever lived in Haiti, or even have come down on […]
In the next couple of days I am going to talk about what I feel like the biggest physical need is in our area of Haiti and what I feel like the biggest spiritual need is in our area of Haiti. We have been here for a little over 2 years now, so I am […]
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 wanted to take some time now to describe my last trip to Haiti. It has been a little less than a week since I got back to the states, so I am going to describe the things that I was doing during my last trip. The main purpose of this trip was to make […]
I’m sitting in the Miami airport, by myself again. I think this is the 6th time I have come to Haiti since Sophie was born, so writing this type of blog is getting old. I do have some really good news though…After a few months in the adoption finalization process and then getting other paperwork […]

Yesterday (This was actually Thursday, but to go along with everything else, my internet stopped working Thursday morning!) was move-in day! It was a very crazy day, but the kids are in their new home and we are one step closer to having our rental house ready for when Jess and Sophie come down. I […]
As you probably know if you keep up with the All Things New blog, we are moving our children off of the Hope Rising campus and we have been trying to find a rental house since we made the decision to move. When transitional times come, no matter what type of transition it is, there […]
I know there have been a lot of posts with similar titles lately, but the truth is I am just not that creative. I am just sitting in the JAX airport at 5:30 this morning waiting for my flight to board and I wanted to put up a blog post about the trip and about […]
I started this blog while I was sitting in the Fort Lauderdale airport and I am now finishing it as I sit waiting at jury duty in Jacksonville. I was basically finished with it in Fort Lauderdale when the airport lost wifi. That is not that big of a deal, usually I just copy and […]
