We had a wonderful experience while in Haiti. If you are looking for an organization to support, GLA is worthy of every penny or prayer. It’s a wonderful place. We were able to tour the orphanage while we were there, and the nanny’s love the little ones so very much. There are so many babies…
Jude was mostly quiet while we were in country, but every time we passed the balcony where the babies play each day, he would wave at them and talk and talk until they were out of sight again. He also chattered and came alive a bit when we went shopping with some of the street vendors in town. He pointed and chattered and touched things.
We kept him in a sling made for children up to 35 pounds, and he loved it (and still does when he’s not feeling so secure). It was a blessing to have.
Saturday, September 20th was our big travel day home, and Jude was great on the airplanes! We were amazed. As long as he was attached to me, he either slept or looked around or munched some snacks…he was nervous on several occasions throughout the day, but he never cried in fear. It was a blessing and an answer to so many prayers. We had visions of a terrified child crying through each and every leg of the journey, and God had a different plan thankfully!
We were met at the airport by the grandparents and godparents, and all were blessed. We’ll post more photos as we’re able. The computer with all our photos experienced a hard drive crash on Thursday and is being worked on as we speak…
