Picture Book

Recently I sent down a photo album to Haiti. In it I put pictures of:

Our immediate family (Todd, me,and the girls)
Individuals of Todd, me and the girls
All grandparents
Aunts and Uncles with their families
Extended family (a few cousins and best friends)
God parents for Jonas (still praying for Ellie's)
Jonas and Ellie together
Jonas and Ellie individually
Our house
Jonas' room and Bed
Ellie's room and Bed


Beside each picture I put who it was and how they were related to Jonas and Ellie. For example Todd's brother and his family I put "Uncle Troy and Aunt Cathy with cousins Bethany, Alyssa, and Kaleb. I also included pictures of Manthania and Nicot that said cousins. At the bottom of the page it said- Papa Todd's brother.


Now the number one rule in Haiti is if you send it down don't expect it to last long. But I recently learned that the house manager kept things that the parents had sent in her room and allowed the kids to look at/play with them when they came into her room to play. So I took a gamble and sent the photo album. Look what pictures I recently got?




















Jonas looking at it!















The album is on Ellie's lap!

Yeah! God is good! I love you Jonas & Ellie!
Hugs, Mommy
