So here are some fun things since my cousin Jody came to visit and my sister-in-law came down from Chicago to visit.
Some box fun when we got a new dishwasher!
Pile up on Jody!!!
Snuggle time with Cousin Jody!
First week of preschool he had a filed trip to PUMP IT UP. That is an inside blow up playground. The sign on the door should have said, "WARNING may cause Haitian children to go crazy with fun and laughter." Seriously, he had so much fun running from one thing to the next. He especially loved the slide.
Jonas and Papa Todd fun. Not sure which one had more fun, I would call it a tie.
I had a moment of tears at the Pump It Up place. 2 years ago on Thanksgiving break my whole family came to visit. We took all the nieces and nephews to Pump It Up to play. I remember saying I can't wait to bring Jonas to this place. I remember praying that God would allow it to happen, and then I am at the very place I prayed for and watching him have the time of his life! It was a "time stood still" moment. I thanked God for making it happen and reminding me of his goodness. 
Jody got to experience a Haiti coming home when Noah came home. She was such a trooper and never complained about waiting at the airport so long for the midnight arrival. Lillie and Jonas fell asleep on the way home.The next set of pictures are from when we took Jody to Todd's parents place, known as the farm.
Jonas LOVES Todd's dad. He gets so excited when he knows he is going to see his PawPaw! So of course it only seemed appropriate that they have the first golf cart ride together! Golf carts are the bomb at MeMe and Paw Paw's!
Then came the first 4 wheeler ride.
Papa Todd's turn!
Jody said she wanted to have a "Todd" photo shoot. So we got some of her.
Jody wanted to rekindle her youth so she climbed a tree! Uh...with a little help! 
Todd being a dork!
This rockin picture I took of Jessica! Cool huh?While my sister-in-law was here we went to the park. 
Aunt Leann is one strong woman!!!!
Does it shock anyone that Jonas would climb the jungle gym like this? Shall we say Haitian style?
Fun at Grandma's house. We always try to do a craft with the cousins. This time it was painting magnets.
Jonas and his magnet. I lost count after 3 coats of paint- all different colors of course!
Aunt Leann is one strong woman!!!! We had a lot of fun. I add more pictures later!
Hugs, Kristina
