Visitors

Today we were blessed to have some visitors! The couple with us are Tom and Chris and they are adopting Stevenson. Tom and Chris went on their first trip when we did back in the middle of 2007. We met them first at the airport in Miami on our way down and struck up a good friendship from the beginning - they are great people! We have stayed in touch and they came to visit their future son. They also stopped by to say "Hi." They were also gracious enough to ask if there was anything that they could bring us and we gave them a list and they brought things that we requested. THANK YOU TOM AND CHRIS!! It is such a blessing to have people come like this and bring things for us. Since we continue to get things stolen from customs here through the mail in Haiti, it's nice to not have to worry about it. As you can see from the pictures, the boys had fun playing together!



This picture is of us with Linda. Linda is the person that saved Lou's life. She convinced the orphanage director to take Lou in. The director didn't want to and wanted to send him to an institution where it certainly would have meant a disastrous life for Lou. If Linda didn't do that, we would not have Lou and we would not be here. Linda also brought us a few goodies (like peanut butter and twin sized bed sheets - - THANK YOU LINDA!). Linda is a great blessing to us as well!


Boring Car Stuff...

I finished up the white Pathfinder today - everything is all welded up and the parts put back on. I took it for a 15 min ride down to the grocery store with Carter (to get Tina some eggs and bread) and it stayed together (yeah!!). Now I'll take the wheel off, clean off the welds, and paint it with the paint that is anti-corrosive and very good (although it is lead-based). If I grow a third arm, all is not lost - I should be able to get car work done faster once I learn how to use it.
