With our upcoming trip back to Haiti growing closer and closer (we found out today that the State Department deposited our check for Elijah’s passport which means it should be her in a couple of days) one thing is really beginning to stand out. Our support system in America is growing in both numbers and […]
The picture here is from the first time we went down to Haiti in May 2016. Sophie is so little, and we were just trying to figure out how to live in Haiti with a baby. As you know, from yesterday’s blog, we will be heading back down very soon to Haiti and this time […]
Today is part 2 of the “Recent Conversation” posts (click here if you missed the first one). The setting is the same as the previous post, just about 15 minutes after the initial conversation ended. This second conversation happened as a guy that I have spoken to before walked into the clubhouse with his dog […]
When we are in America, it is really difficult to get work done at home with 2 babies, so I spend at least a few hours most days in our apartment club house. It is usually really quiet, it has pretty fast wifi, and there are very few distractions…Most of the time. Yesterday, however, I […]
I was just sitting and thinking about our upcoming trip to Haiti with the entire family and the fear of the “unknown” that accompanies this trip. It is funny, we have lived in our house for over a year, we have made countless trips to Haiti, and we have a great support system (both Haitian […]
We had our first All Things New Team meeting yesterday! If you have been keeping up with us through either blogs or email (click either of the link to sign up to receive our communications) then you know this has been a real focus for ATN since January and this is the next step in the […]
You may recall from a recent blog that on the last night of my stay in Haiti I had some tire issues that resulted in me finding a ride from someone else at about 9:30pm. Well, this past Monday, I had some battery issues here in the states with our “new” minivan and I wanted […]
Waiting for Elijah’s birth certificate for the past month or so has lead to me think about the difference in birth certificates in Haiti and America. How many times, since you were born, have you really worried about the location of your birth certificate? There are a few times in our lives when we have […]
I think I mentioned, in a previous blog, that our family took vacation the week before I left for Haiti this year (June 24-30). One of our wonderful supporters, Adelva Johnston, allowed us to stay in her condo at Palm Coast for the week and we had a blast. As you are probably well aware, […]
As I am sitting here in the Fort Lauderdale airport heading back to Jacksonville after a short trip to Haiti, I wanted to give you an update on my night last night. It is important to understand that, almost every time that I am returning to the states from Haiti, something happens. On one of […]
Just so you know, all of our kids who live with us passed and they passed easily! Unfortunately, 2 of the kids who do not live with us did not pass, but 28 out of 30 is pretty good, and I was very proud of our kids. Son Son was 2nd in his class, Fefe got […]
