Live From Haiti

Updates for a few of my peeps -- haha!!

Asa- What an awesome little boy he kept coming up to me wanting up, I held and cuddled him a lot. And yes he really does say mama and papa - I showed him all your photos.

Mackson- So adorable - the first time I saw him I walked into the baby room and most of them were sleeping on the floor, not Mackson he immediately looked at me and stood up and pointed at his family photos and said "Mama" - NOT EVEN KIDDING!!!

Darline- So cute and absolutely LOVED her card from Katy LOVED IT!!! I am her favorite now she keeps looking at me and giving me a shy little grin.

Lucio and Lovedidine- What sweeties - they didn't want to stop playing outside today to come get their cards - maybe tomorrow!!

Maria Dakar- Loves to have her photos taken, loves does not even describe it.

Roseberline & Dounelson- what a cute pair of children - Dounelson is so sweet and Roseberline is such a character.

Ok sweet little Kobe is drifting to sleep on my lap as I type so I better go put his sweet buns to bed.

Goodnight!!!

Haiti Diaries Day 1

We are here!!! Kobe is sooo cute!! And sooo heavy! He and I just took a nap but he's still sleeping! Ummm I'm not really sure what else to say other than we are here and he is so cute!

Getting ready to go to Haiti!

Well we are getting ready to go to Haiti! I really should be putting our suitcases in my car right now but blogging is more fun.

We have over 200 pounds of donations (like baby formula) we are taking down in our luggage - that translates to four 50 pound checked suitcases, two 40 pound carry on suitcases, and two heavy backpacks.

We are staying at a friends house tonight closer to the airport we fly out of and will be leaving bright and early tomorrow morning. Arriving in Miami late tomorrow afternoon/evening.

As most of you are arriving at work on Monday morning we will be arriving at the orphanage!!! Wish us luck as we meet our son Kobe for the very first time! Between filing our forms in Port Au Prince and visiting the village of TiMache on an ox-cart ride we should be very busy. Hopefully I will be able to keep you all updated nightly on this blog!!

Keep checking!!!

Mr. Handsome Speaks!!

We got our May update today!! Kobe said his first words!!! Yay!!! I think he probably said "Mama" and "Papa" - what do you think?

He gained more weight, eating doesn't seem to be an issue for him.

AND he was moved into the toddler room!!!

What a big boy he is getting to be. I'm so proud of him for saying his first words - you go Little Lou!!!

Whoa!!!

Have you checked out the countdown lately? If not check it out!!! First malaria pill - CHECK!!! It didn't even make me sick! We got all our bags packed up with a little help. Here's a picture from May for you to enjoy this week while I anxiously tick off the minutes!!!
