Next trip planned

I just bought plane tickets for my next trip to visit David! I'm going to go down for about a week at the end up April. Due to some practicals (cost, watching Josh, taking time off of work, etc), Jay isn't going to be going this time. But, my parents are planning to come with me. I'm really excited for them to get to meet David and to see Haiti and the orphanage firsthand. We'll be going right around David's 1st birthday too (May 2), which makes me glad that we'll be there to celebrate with him.

So the countdown has begun, less than 2 months until I get to be with David again!

Mud cookies and cakes

Here's an article from the associated press about how many Haitians find themselves eating dirt in order to fill their bellies. The other adoptive families that had previously visited David's birth family's village had mentioned to us that families there were making pancakes out of dirt.
