Mama's first evening here and Kristina snuggled right up to her! :) All the kids are thrilled that Grandma made it! We had 4 days of rain - and MAMA's plane was late due to the low cloud cover here in Cape-Haitian. At 4:00 the clouds lifted and the sun began to shine-for the first time since Saturday!!! We were rejoicing! :)

The kids (all 4 of them) are working with Brett this morning at the Seminary site. There are still lots of finishing touches to be done before the dedication of the new Seminary in a few weeks. Sylove, their babysitter, and the Folkeringa family (3 wonderful teenage boys) are with them - so I am sure that they are well looked after. :)

We are thrilled to have the Folkeringa family back in Haiti with us for a week! We enjoyed a wonderful time having them over for supper last night followed by Legos and indoor "Hide and Seek". It was a LOT of fun!!! :)

This afternoon we are heading to the airport to pick up MAMA. The kids are excited about grandma coming! :) Of course Brett & I are too - but the kids show it a bit more .... they were announcing it quite loudly first thing this morning! :)

The kids are enjoying their Christmas break! We are also joyful about the return of the Hubele family this week. They are farmers from southern Illinois (great place! :) who come to help us in MANY ways and then return home for planting season.

What a joy it is to have Rachel just next door to pop over and talk to! The kids are enjoying having their playmates back! :) And Brett is grateful for not only John's friendship, but also having another man on the field to help fix things!!
