Something she would never have thought of

So I bet Nerlande would have never thought that people dressed up like a Pickle.
At the Yard sale she was able to met her first Walking Pickle.

A busy weekend

This  last weekend was a busy one,On Saturday we had our yearly yard sale with B98.7 they where very kind and had donated the booth fee to our Orphanage.
We had to leave a little bit early because our competion soccer team was having tryouts and Fabrice was very excited to go play soccer. He is so good at soccer that he does not have to do the 3 tryouts that they require. the head coach came over to me at the end of the tryouts to talk about what a super star he is and to hear fabrices whole story.
We are so proud of him!
Then on sunday we had a very nice Mothers day Fabrice gave me a letter he worte in school with a drawing and Dave and the kids gave me very nice patio umberlla so we can sit under some shade when we are out back.
But it was just a great weekend having the kids home and here sharing all the good times.

Let's cook

WOW can you believe that it has been 3 months that our sweet kids have been home.
We have been to ton's of doctors Appt. I have learned alot about bugs that live in Haiti.
It has been so fun to see how well each kid is adjusting and to learn what they love and like and what they do not like. They each are learning ton's of English,Fabrice is still Holding onto his Kreyol. Nerlande and Yonelson both love to cook and help with dinner wich is so fun.
Our older kids love playing and Jumping on the jumpoline with the little ones are family has really come together and it feels so right.
Today we woke up Bright and Earler to go on B98.7 to talk about our Yard sale coming up on Saturday and to have them meet Nerlande and yonelson and Fabrice. The radio sation has been so Helpful and supportive with the non-Profit and they where always calling us to give us Information about group's that had traveled to Port au price after the earthquake had hit, and we still where waiting on word about our kids. 
They are two really neat people and I feel very blessed to know them and call them our friend.

It's Yard sale day

Today was the big Day, we woke up bright and early we had great help setting up the donations. I would like to Thank Marilee's Mom and Dad and sister for coming out and helping us set up and make sure we felt good about running it.Plus I want to thank Brent and Lori for all the donations they gathered up and coming out to sell and collect money. Thank you Marilee and Pete and her cute kids for donating items and for collecting money and being great seller's. Plus Thank you Chareyl for the kids clothes you donated they helped us alot. We did great we where able to get $1204.00. we had lots of people ask us about the orphanage and the radio station said we would be able to come back next year. so I think the day turned out very well. I had a great time visiting with everyone and talk about our kids in Haiti and how we all learned about the good old Blink the kids like to do. By the way we think they should Include this in your travel packets.(lol) well we are getting closer to our trip I loved how the yard sale kept me busy and the month of may flew by and now after the holiday I can start to pack the rice and the kids items we are taking with us and get them to way the right weight for the airlines. see you guys soon at the airport either in salt lake or in Florida on our way to Haiti!

Just letting everyone know

 Unfortunately, the weather for this weekend doesn't look like it's going to cooperate," said Todd of the "Todd and Erin Morning Show.we realize this is Memorial Weekend.  We're optimistically thinking that with an additional month of promotion, there will be even more people to join us!  This is sort-of good new.It gives use more time to price and sort stuff.

Plus think how much more stuff we can gather up to raise some much needed money for our little orphanage. If you need anywhere to store your yard sale stuff until then give me a call or email me. Thanks for all your guys help on this Adventure!!
