More Fun Pictures


















“The house is where everyone can live.”

Thomas drew this picture yesterday. There is a tree (right in front of his hand) the upper right side of the picture is Heaven with St. Michael up there. The pink swirl under his hand is the Devil falling down to Hell, last at the bottom right side is Hell.
I thought that was very insightful for him to get all of that. We have been talking about creation and about the fallen angel. He has had lots of questions. I think he has been listening even when he doesn’t sit still. It is always such a wonderful thing to have your kids express what they have learned.

Just Some Fun Moments

Trying something new!

We thought since we were no longer in Haiti or going to be there that we would start a fresh. I will try to update regularly, but in reality it may be awhile in between entries. This will mainly be to keep those who are interested up-to-date on what is going on in our life.

Since some of you are returning to follow (grandparents…) I will try to recap the last several weeks we have been down.

From the oldest news to most current: April 9th Kiara celebrated her 4th birthday. She had a blast even though she was a little under the weather. We celebrated with brownies and ice cream. I think her favorite part was getting a new scooter from her Godparents. They are very in tune with the fact that she is an out doors “extreme” sports kind of girl. Yes I know most of you wouldn’t consider a scooter “extreme” sport but you have never seen this girl on one before. She puts a whole new out look on how one is to ride a scooter.









Let me see what else… well Thomas did his own reenactment of Jesus carrying His cross. As you can see he was truly creative and took it very seriously.
The girls where more than happy to join in helping him act it out as you can see.




The only other thing that I can think that has been pretty big around here is we have started on the building project for the SOLT apostolic house. They have applied for all of the permits and have brought the construction gravel for the driveway. For those who don’t know anything about this please check out this link . We are not building from scratch but have purchased an existing house that will be moved here. This is something new to all of us (except our builder) so it should be very interesting to see how it all unfolds. So as you can see this will be a busy summer for us as we plan to help out as much as possible. We live right next to the SOLT property so it will be easy to help out as much as possible.


That is all of the updating for now. Hope to be back to this again soon.
God Bless,
