well, we're back from our trip to haiti & had a wonderful time!... we were gone from october 3-10 & have been running nonstop ever since... our little chicklets have a fabulous time staying with 'papa kyle, angela & all their kids' (hehehe), that's what they call them... while in haiti we were with barbara walker in passing out food, back packs, clothing & visiting kiara & karleigh's birth papas too... karleigh's papa flew down from cap haitien to visit us for the day... it was so good to see him again & after having dinner together he asked us when we'd be bringing karleigh back to see him... we assured him, we would be doing this someday when she got older & he seemed very happy about that... we visited with kiara's papa 1 day & then made plans to see him again the latter part of the week... when we got there the last day he surprised us by telling us to take him down the road a bit (about 15 minutes away) & we could meet/see kiara's birth siblings!!!... WOW, what a blessing!!... well, it's taken me forever to upload these pics, so i'm heading to bed, but will blog more soon... ttfn!
