Well, things are really good here.
We’re getting some hard rain and a little wind but it would appear the bulk of the storm is to our east in the
Dominican Republic.
Things are going a lot better with the kiddos sleeping. We’ve just sort of given in and let Nico have a bottle of water at night and nap time… that’s been helping. We’ve also been laying down with them until they fall asleep. Not something I plan to continue back in the US, but it works for now… they are certainly distracted by the noise level of 25 other kids around, but seem to be sleeping through it well once they fall asleep.
Okay, let me just say this—Danny and Leann are pretty amazing people. I love their family. They’re very suited to this lifestyle—tender compassionate and generous hearts, yet they can be firm when necessary. They’re awesome. I just love them!
We’ve been really trying to hit these admin tasks hard… and all of our brains are “full” I think. So many things we’d like to do, but trying to figure out what God wants for us and how we get there using what he’s given us right now… last night we went through the web site and planned for updating it so all of our info is current. Look for those changes and NEW PICS in a week or two! www.haitianchildrenhome.org
I am posting some new pics under this album address: http://picasaweb.google.com/ng.mangine/HaitiOnMonday
It’s some from last night and today so far… Look out for:
Cutie pics of Mama Leann and baby Jabez—
Pics of the kids dancing—they LOVE our Kidspointe worship songs!
Me washing our clothes Haitian style—thanks Diane and Loudridge for the help!
Nia bathing Haitian style
Me getting a splinter of glass out of Rico’s foot—I made him cry pretty bad :(
Nick’s trigonometry project—and him making a jig so the kids can make Christmas ornaments for supporters…
Slendia’s birthday
Nick and Nico’s haircuts from a Haitian barber…. (best haircuts they’ve EVER had… and at only $1.50 each… you can’t go wrong!)
Good stuff!
