Yep! Malaya is too little but Rosie and Mikela now have Taekwondo classes every week! Who would have thunk it? 🙂

My mom flew back from Haiti yesterday and we spent today at Angel's house. I have to tell you that I have never seen Kandiance in so much pain. It was all my mom and I could do to hold back the tears - and there were a few times where we just couldn't. Her … Continue reading Angel’s Mom (Kandiance)

We all know how little Rosie can be - she's a wonderful little hard-headed kid! Much like me!

She asked - Are we going back to Haiti today? But your babies aren't out yet. I told her … Continue reading Some are Ready to Go Back Home….and Others – Not so much!

After much thought - we have decided on names for the boys.  We already have: Gabriel Geovanni Castillo (Which is a Bible name followed by namesake). Geovanni is the name of Jose's brother who died when he was a little baby of yellow fever.  So in keeping with a Bible Name and then a Namesake … Continue reading Okay – So We Finally Decided On Names…..
