TID BITS

I've been meaning to post these pictures for such a long time now!  But alas... I don't get done near as much these days as I used to!  That's so hard for me... Good or bad, I tend to judge the success of my days based on how much I accomplished! 

First off, JJ's sister and her family from Haiti:  This is their dear family... for the first time all together in the US.  Jen and Jarod have been waiting to adopt their 3 Haitian children for almost 10 years.  The corrupt government in Haiti had made it nearly impossible.  But as a result of the earth quake tragedy there this last January, the children were granted US Humanitarian Visas and  are able to pursue American adoptions.  It is nothing short of a miracle!!  And we get to enjoy seeing them whenever we go back to KS, as they are temporarily living there until the adoptions are complete...Yeah!!

I was able to capture a few fun shots before the rain came in, out on JJ's family farm....


Next... my brother, Phil from California, and his family visited us here in OK a month ago... it was the first time that I got to meet my niece Jenna!  She is nothing short of positively precious!!!   Right before she headed to bed the night before they left, her mommy and I stole a few sweet shots for her 1 year pictures.... I love them!




One last thing...
I had a sonogram on Monday and was able to see our newest little sweety.... squirmin' around, nice and healthy so far :)

  2. Wonderful shots!
    I just went to Haiti in April to His Home for Children and FELL IN LOVE with so many children, especially a little girl named Tasha. I have a question...
    My brother in law, Heath, went down to Haiti at His Home right after the earthquake to bring a plane load of children back to their adoptive families (including their 2 little girls) Was this by chance the same orphange, trip, etc?
