Getting closer

Okay, so this blog has been a really great idea. What a great way to keep people up to date on how we are doing. Well, maybe not quite. It seems I may have not posted for a little while, like since May!!

Let's see...Since May, we have had another baby. That's right, baby number five is here. She was born June 30th, which now makes her almost two months old. Her name is Callie, and she is a perfect little baby, beautiful and sweet.

Also since May, we are coming close to filling the container. And then it's off to Haiti for it (and us). We are shooting for September...some point in September. In about another week, it's going to be September. Why am I sitting here at the computer?? I've got so much to do.

Also since May, and this actually just happened last Sunday, our church held a fund raiser for us, dubbed "Lotz of Love." Let me just say, that was such an amazing experience, and very truly humbling. The gym was packed with people who all came to support our family. A special thanks to the mission committee at our church for putting that whole day together. It was very special!

It was good having Scott Salvant and Jim and Judy Ward from the New Hope Haiti Mission Board of Directors with us last weekend. We enjoyed the time with them. The next time we see them will be in Haiti!!

Until next time (hopefully sooner than three months).
