Coming Back to America…Again
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 […] -
Remembering Funny Mistakes Made in Haiti
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 […] -
Sophie and All Things New
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 […] -
Happy New Year
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 […] -

How Do You Take 1 Month Off with 19 Kids?
While we were in America for the month of July we had an incredible team of people here who looked after our children and kept them safe. Matt and Cara (along with their children Kaylea, Dean, and Joel) helped us out immensely as they contacted us whenever there was an issue, had our kids participate […] -
Vacation
We have been home since July 3, and it has been a wonderful month off so far. I (Matt) don’t even think I realized how tired I was until I laid down in our bed for the first time. So far, we have spent a week with my parents, a week at the beach just […] -
Our Day
It has been a while since we have posted a “day in the life” blog, but we like to do it from time to time to give everyone a little taste of what life can be like here. Of course we tend to choose the slightly more eventful days, but it is not a huge […] -
New Hires
Many of you may be wondering why we have said, on numerous occasions, we need more funding now than ever. I want to talk about the biggest reason for this being the case…New Hires! We have had to make multiple new hires for our children and for the ministry to function well. I can assure […] -
The Lawn Mower
Over the past few weeks, we have been sharing a lot of things that have been happening down here in Haiti. We have moved our children to Hope Rising’s campus, we have been living with the children 24/7, and we have learned a lot about running an orphanage and taking care of the children of […] -
Our First Night Living With the Kids: Jessica’s Perspective
After updating everyone on how we got here, I thought it would be fun to share about what our first night here was like. The week leading up to moving the kids in, I kept a constant list of things we would need to go over with them when they moved in. We were trying […]
