Our boys and Haiti

Oh Haiti...how we love it there and how we loved being with both of our boys!Caleb was so overjoyed to have his brother with him and he liked calling us Momma Jessica and Papa Kevin...then it changed to Mommy and Daddy:) What a kid he is! So full of life, bouncing from one thing to the next, so easy to laugh and what a laugh it is! We were so excited that while we were there, the kids moved into the new orphanage! Moving from a container that was very small to a big building with open spaces and separate girls, boys and baby rooms was amazing to watch and the kids were thrilled! as were the nannies!:) The walls are brightly colored...the girls have pink walls with a princess theme and the boys have blue walls with a Cars theme. It's such a wonderful space and knowing that this is where our boys will be living was such a comfort when we had to leave. That was a hard day and it's been such an adjustment being home. Everyday life is different and we feel such a fervor to bring our boys home as soon as we can! We are praying for the timing to be perfect and that everything that is needed, financially and paperwork wise, will come through. We just love these boys so much! The first day we were there, we just sat in the play area outside with the kids. I was just watching Caleb playing and listening to his voice and I could just see him in our home, in our family and it felt like such a confirmation that these boys are ours! What a gift!
