We don’t really do baskets for Easter, but we do give token gifts in celebration of Christ’s resurrection. This year, Jude got a bubble machine, and he positively loves it. Take a look….

So, What’s Next?
No doubt about it: job loss affects every aspect of your life whether you are an athletic or the family. Ranging from financial to social to physical to emotional. A job loss hurts! You really liked the people you worked with and will miss them. It’s very lonely being by your self all day. Your job was a way to show the world your independence and the ability to take care of yourself and family. My job was my future, so, what’s next?
When Mama and Papa Bring Me Home…
Jude continues to keep us laughing, as three-year-olds are wont to do. And, he’s as sweet as they come. We talk about Haiti frequently, as we want him to know about and be proud of his national heritage. We want him to know how much we loved it there, and what a joy it was […]
Still needed at GLA…
The need in Haiti is still dire. Thanks to so many, there’s been a huge outpouring of donations to GLA. If you would like to know how you can help, take a look at this. Scroll to the bottom to see what’s currently needed.
Underwear Basketball
So, my guys love to play basketball, and Matthew is teaching Jude quite a lot, so we think he’s pretty good for a little guy. Why underwear basketball? Because Jude is now mostly using underwear and he doesn’t like to wear clothes…he loves to be in his drawers!
Fundraising for Haiti
Matthew, Jude and I were recently honored – yes, honored – to be present at the Friday assembly at Tobey Elementary School in Vicksburg, Michigan where our niece Natalie attends. You see, Natalie and two friends decided they wanted to do a fundraiser and they decided to do it for God’s Littlest Angels orphanage in Haiti, where […]
Helping Haiti
Some have expressed to us that you want to help the people of Haiti, but don’t know what to do. May we strongly encourage you to consider sending your resources to God’s Littlest Angels? GLA is not just an orphanage, though that is much of what it does. GLA is a Haitian baby ministry. Its […]
For love of Haiti…
Our blog has been unfortunately all to quiet these last four months, and particularly this last month in light of what has happened in Haiti. Through the busy days of life, we have shed more tears this last month over the happenings in Haiti than we have in the past two years. Somewhere along the […]
God’s Littlest Angels – The Toddler House
I cannot do this justice in my own post. Instead, I’ve included a link to a blog post created by Molly, who has charge over GLA’s toddler house, located about a 15 minute walk from the main house where all the babies live. It gives a poignant look at the strength of the Haitian people. […]
Changes Afoot for Baby Jude
Well, life is busy and it’s certainly been awhile since our last post. Jude is growing like mad. His life is changing once again as we have sold our house in Otsego and moved. We’re in temporary digs for now as we search for another house, closer to family and church, but still mid-way for […]
Hope for the sleepless!
Baby Jude is doing wonderfully. A couple of months ago we began taking him to see a chiropractor. We told her of his sleep issues, and she examined him. She found that several of his ribs were out of joint, and that was putting pressure on other vetebrae (it’s all connected, of course). I asked […]
