Our Christmas dinner with the guys who work at Adoration.

On New Years day in Haiti we celebrate the coming in of the New Year but Haitians also celebrate their independence from France and so tradition is to eat pumpkin soup. The guys at the school invited us over for some pumpkin soup and so here we are celebrating Haitian Independence 
And while at the school for Pumpkin soup we were invited to come the next day at 10:30 because they were preparing a big meal for us to share altogether. Cadeau, Samuel and Guerdeson as well as a few of their close friends, the cooks from the school and ourselves got to sit down and share a meal together. It was very special.
The VERY delicious food that the guys slaved over that morning.

And then after our tummies were full we headed out to the lake which is North East of Port au Prince and we were able to see the flamingos! It was pretty amazing.... being on the water was peaceful, the mountains and clouds were spectacular and the flamingos were beautiful... although it's hard to sneak up on them with three boats and a crying baby.
And... now we are back to regular life. School has started up again, Bible studies are going, the basketball tournament has semi-finals this week, John and Jim are visiting with us right now, we are planning a health seminar for our female teenagers this week, we are trying to sell our car as well as look for a new vehicle and...
in the midst of all the chaos Maia Joy has started crawling!! This morning she was EVERYWHERE, chewing on the laptop chord, the stereo, the fan... I think our house needs some child proofing! Here's some proof of it all...
