a few pics...

My HAITIAN boys..... chowing down on the mangoes. (Which, incidentally, are from the trees in OUR YARD.)

Nia's cake do-over since Mommy was sick on her actual birthday we sort of had a cake fail.

We had the whole HCH team over, sang Hapy birthday and all that jazz... she loved it.

Then we had a "tracing party" where we got the Joy in Hope and the Haitian Children's Home logos drawn up on our gate to be painted. You should have seen the setup-- we had a portable inverter going from the Mazda battery to the projector and computer. The 4 wheeler was the projector stand. To move the logo to the right or left, you had to take the 4 wheeler out of gear and push it whatever direction you wanted. It was quite the party-- the whole HCH team just sat around watching Carrie do all the work.

Nia and Nick watched from perched high above on the roof of the Jimmy...

I love the pics!! In one pic, Nia's hair looks like it is getting lighter...?

When I was in the nursing moms' room with Cana at church this morning, there was this lady that I had never met nursing her adorable brown-ish little 3 week old. So I started talking to her and found out that she, too, is a missionary in Haiti and was in the US on furlough to have her baby. She (the lady) was actually born in Haiti-- her parents were missionaries, too. Her husband is Haitian and they live somewhere way in the north of Haiti-- Osh something or other. I tried to remember all the details so I could tell you, but I'm a failure. Anyway, I thought it was cool.
