lets see...
thursday...new years eve was a regular day...dorothy took the day off and went with some ladies to a town near PAP and i maned the house...nothing i havent done before... we took the kids outside colored, practices animals and colors, read books and blew bubbles. then when she got back we went to a little get together at dotties...that only lasted until about 7:30...i came back and talked with sr. rosemanie for a long time...then got online and stayed up until 2am...it was a very simple new years...and i was blessed to be in a country i love...surrounded by beautiful children and woman working to take care of them all!
new years day...in the morning i slept in a bit...but needed it. then after helping in the infant room went in the dining room joined the nannies and children in praying, singing, reciting bible verses, and dancing!
in the afternoon some of Junior's family came over and i met them for the first time, his mom, sisters, nephew and aunt. i showed them around the house told them about some of the kids,sat a talked with them for a bit and then we skyped junior. it was the first time junior had seen them in 2 years. he was so happy...it was a great visit. i am very blessed to know them. and for those of you who dont know junior...he is manaj mwen...in english my boyfriend. i know crazy news and i feel quite vulnerable putting it out here all over the internet and blog world...but its there on facebook...so why not here. plus the more people praying for us the better. maybe i will write the story of that one day on here...since this blog isnt just about haiti, but my life and what the Lord is doing...and He is definitely doing something there. anyway...
Kervens came home and i cannot tell you how excited i was to see him...this place is not the same without him and i miss him so very much. he is starting to look like a pre-teen for sure...and he came with a fresh hair cut lookin all slick. we had a great night...ate the traditional soup joumou, played games, slept on the roof, watched a movie...talked about life, made pictures out of the clouds...it was very fun.
this morning me and cha cha went and picked up trash all around the yard and kevs swept. Sr. luciene came to visit me because she was on vacation...i'm so gald she did because i love her so much. she is a Godly woman full of love for this children. i would have been very sad to have missed her...but PRAISE GOD i didnt!
i tucked kevs into bed tonight....man i miss that time with him...but starting to feel like he is getting to old for such things...the boy is 11 now...but we are never too old to pray together before we lay our head down to sleep so its all good.
tomorrow we are suppose to go to church and then go see emily...i have contacted the place in PAP where she is at. however the car wouldnt start this morning when i went to go get water....so pray we have transportation i SO want to see my lil baby and take pictures of her for her mama shelly.
okay...i better get going...i probably left things out...but its a beautiful thing to jump right back into the routines of daily life here...i always miss it.
blessings to all of you on this new year....the beginning of many great things...and it starts with you...God can take you anywhere!!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE
BONNE ANNE!!!! happy new year!!!
