Visiting friends from Haiti

We had such a blessed week with our sweet friends from Haiti. The boys are from an orphanage in northern Haiti. They travel with "His Little Feet" performing in a choir of 165 kids from the orphanage. It was such a fun experience for Tess and Cameron. The boys were really funny and we had some great stories and laughs with them. Their concert was unbelievable and very moving! I wish ebeyone could have seen it and felt their love! We miss them already!!

Tess turns 10!

Our church planned a day to pack meals for Haiti. It is a great program where 40 people can pack 10,000 meals in 2 hours. I was able to arrange for Bennett's lacrosse team to come work for 2 hours. It was a fantastic time for the boys to do some community service and have fun too. Cameron brought 2 friends as well and Tess had her friends there too. Everyone gets to help others!! It was a total success and our group packed 25,000 meals!! there were 112,000 meals packed throughout the day!! If you are interested in doing this at your church or any organization-contact me!
