I can't wait to see all his pictures! And hear all the stories! More updates in a few days! Thanks again to all those praying for us and who gave to help him go! He says its been a life changing experience.

More news from Jonathan

These are his facebook statuses and I've just compiled them -

Feb. 12 ~ We had a very busy day today. Today was national day of of prayer on the anniversary of the earthquake. It was till noon, so we went out sight seeing till around 12. We ate lunch then opened up the clinic around 2. We saw alot of more severe cases, not as many people, but more severe cases. Most being dehydration,vomiting and diarria. We ran at least 5 IV lines today with around 9 liters of fluid being given. Sent 2 patients to different places, one to the german red cross and one to the doctors without frontier. Tomorrow and Sunday is national day of prayer again till noon each day. Really no clinic till around 12. We are going mobile again around 1 or so till around 4 or 5. I love my Haitian friends and I want to return so bad. Well I must go...so in french "Bon Nie"not sure on the spelling on the last word but it means Good Night!!! Love to all! ~ Jonathan

First Day of school

We had our first un-official day of pre-school today. I wanted to start on Monday so we'd have all week to do the lesson plans I was going to write out...but Saturday we got the call that Jonathan was leaving on Monday and so we had to get stuff done for him to go instead. I'm looking forward to starting again next week, and we'll just review what we did today. My goals are to at least make it 2 hours a day. Kylie is very excited about this and spend a long time on each page! Korey was very bored, (maybe he's too young), and Kamryn, well, she only wanted to color one page! I know she's too young, but I just had her there for something to do! So, maybe I'll change our day around and do the fun stuff (singing, books, flashcards) when the younger two are with us and start the actual work stuff with Kylie while Korey & Kamryn are napping! Any advice from anyone out there??!!

You'll have to excuse their jammies today ~ its a little chilly here and we opted to just hang out in jammies today!

A Valentine box from Grandma & Pappy

On Tuesday we recieved a Valentine's Day box from Grandma & Pappy in PA! The kids were very excited to open it! It was hard to get even a few pictures of all the excitment, because as soon as one present was open, they would put it down and want another one!! Inside was boxes of graham crackers, whale crackers, animal crackers and valentine's day cookie cutters, and sugar cookie mix, and a few other things I can't remember!
