Today is Asher and Levi's first birthday! I remember their first day so well. I had a doctor's appointment. I was in the doctor's office and I kept telling the nurse that I thought I was in labor. She told me it was "nothing". Nothing? So she let me sit there in the waiting room … Continue reading He Always Knows Right Where To Hit…
We’re Home…
We are safe and sound in the Mole. It was quite the adventure here. We had two flat tires which made for a 6 hour drive! Malaya was sick the entire time - throwing-up outside the window because the driver didn't want to stop anymore! Gabriel was hungry and crying most of the trip and … Continue reading We’re Home…
Love to Haiti

And Away We Go…
Jose and I have fixed up the house in the Mole and it's ready for the kiddos. We have spent the last several days in St. Louis gathering the remains of our belongings - fridge/freezer/washing machine/clothes/etc. The one thing that was holding us back from taking the kids out there was having a generator. As … Continue reading And Away We Go…
Nothing Like A Little Bonfire On The Beach…

We decided to do a picnic on the beach … Continue reading Nothing Like A Little Bonfire On The Beach…

I am very excited about it! 🙂 I have to tell you if there is any “fleshly” desire that Jose … Continue reading Eat Mole Chicken…
First VBS In The Mole…
Today was an awesome day! First of all I just wanted to let you know I'm writing you from our house! We finally got the internet to work. We had gone to the internet cafe downtown a few nights ago but then it lost it's signal and we've been unable to communicate. But it's working … Continue reading First VBS In The Mole…
Hello From The Mole…
We do not have internet at our house but we found a small little cyber cafe!! We arrived in the Mole around noon on Friday. We brought with us a carpenter to put shelves in our rented house. We also brought with us a steelworker so that he could put bars on some of our … Continue reading Hello From The Mole…
Onwards and Upwards…
It looked like my house threw-up on the courtyard today. It was really surreal seeing everything we own outside at the foot of our steps. My dad came to help us load up two rice trucks! Praise God for that! If it weren't for his wisdom in packing - my stuff would be scratched or … Continue reading Onwards and Upwards…
