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!!
