About time we posted our possibly last update! Yes! We are home and LOVING IT!! We arrived in PG on schedule and have been sure appreciating the little things...like hot water and toilet paper! It was hard to see our girls off in Jacmel and we thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We leave the details in God's hands and we know 2 things for sure: He knows best and He is always good. That gets us through any situation. The details and the timing we have no clue about but we take one day at a time and will continue to trust. He gives just enough light for the step we're on!
Sadly, our external hard drive just bit the dust so....all my music and pictures for the last FOUR YEARS are toast! That really sucks! I'll see what I can do about getting a few more on....some are still on my camera. In the meantime, enjoy life! Enjoy God, family, friends, the sunshine, the washing machine (yes...I DID kiss mine when I got home!) etc... we have SO much to be thankful for! Love to all...

Well, the 19th came and went. It saw Mom and Dad go and Andrew and Jamie come. Time has been moving right along! I have not kept this blog as up to date as I would have liked lately but I will try get some more pictures on shortly.
Today is Thurs. and Andrew and Jamie have been here for two days already! Tomorrow we plan to take them to bassins blue (an apparently amazing waterfall and pools) and on Saturday we do a dental clinic at the YWAM orphanage for the kids, staff and neighborhood. Jamie brought all she needs with her and I will be her 'assistant' for the day. We may also be working with a local dentist and with Bonnie to teach her to bring dental relief to the mountains when she goes.
Most of you know that we are COMING HOME ON WEDNESDAY!! We are so mixed about this emotionally it's insane!! We are really sad to have to leave our girls behind as it looks like the adoptions are no where near finished. This is something we need you to pray for us about. That the transition back into life with out us will go smoothly and not affect them negatively for attachment in the future. We have been told that is harder for us then them and I hope this is so. It already is hard for us and I know it will be but it would make me feel better to think that they are doing great. We are very excited to come home and see our friends and families. With Easter quickly approaching it will be so nice to have that time with you. So, 4 days left in Haiti and then back to the great white north! We leave our daughters in the Lord's hands, where they have always been, and trust that He will provide for their every need even better then we could ever hope to. We know that the time we have had with the girls has been invaluable and will definitely make for a smoother transition when they are ready to finally come home. We are not sorry for coming and we know that God's timing and His plans are better then our own, so we will make the best of the time we will have to prepare to receive Lauren and Melainey maybe this summer. Christmas for sure (I hope - if there's one thing we've learned it's that NOTHING is for sure!).
Dawson and Jordan are already in Vanderhoof. They went home with Grandma and Grandpa Dyck a week before the rest of us. They called to say they made it safe and sound and that they saw the BEE movie before Dad did. hehe... It's strange not having them around and I know when we leave I will be thinking I forgot something all the way home with just one baby!! That will be weird! ok....getting late and I can't think what else to write although I know there are many things. Thanks for your love and prayers, we'll be seeing you soon!

Grandpa with Ginette and Jozaffa...
Lauren jumping to Daddy!
Melainey.....copying Lauren! ha..so cute!
Party in room #30! Grandma brought all kinds of goodies from home....including these yucky, sticky, glow-in-the-dark little animals that stick to the walls. Jozaffa and Ginette were FREAKED out by them...but fascinated at the same time....Jozaffa threw his up in the air and it got hit by the fan and went FLYING into the wall across the room! Grandma was peeling it off for him while he squeeled with delight!
