We made it!

After 5 hours of delay in the Miami airport, we finally arrived in port-au-prince. The group was amazingly patient through all of the delays. More patient than I was! One of the delays was due to a valve malfunction on the first plane. I was pretty sure we would have been just fine. In other words, just get me to my boy!! Shelley quickly retorted that it is a good thing they don't let adoptive moms fly the airplanes. Cuz she is pretty sure we would make unwise decisions due to the absolute excitement of seeing our children.

Our reunion was as sweet as ever. Pierre was kind enough to bring Kervens to me late that night when we arrived at the hotel. It was a magical time as me, Michelle, Haley, and Hanna Ray sat around just in awe of him. He warmed up too us all very quickly.

I can see a big change in him since February. He is much more independent, willing to go to other people - which has been a huge blessing to me, allowing me a few breaks here and there. He is talking non-stop, so the language barrier has been more of an issue than before. I am dying to know what he is saying!

He interacts playfully with his friends and others on the team. He absolutely adores Michelle and Shelley. He sings songs, counts to 10, and runs the show around here. It has been a blast so far.

Hanna Ray is such a trooper! Her little buddy Dalanka has latched onto her and won't let anyone else hold her. It is precious!

Oh, and the weather is so pleasant! I mean, we are not even sweating! It is nice and cool, overcast, with a cool breeze. Wow! What a gift!

Loved reading your WHOLE blog-from beginning to this date-to get the feel of being in Haiti again with you. This is such a wonderful history of Kman along with the rest of your family, too. You have done an exceptional job. Can't believe the weather is pleasant for you all! Give Kervens a big hug for me. Love, Mom

I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.

Maybe you could space it out better?

I create a comment each time I appreciate a article on a website or if I have something to add to the discussion.
Usually it's a result of the sincerness communicated in the post I browsed. And on this post "We made it!". I was actually moved enough to post a comment :-) I actually do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to mind. Is it simply me or does it look like like some of these responses come across as if they are coming from brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing on additional social sites, I'd like to follow anything new you have to post.
Could you list all of all your public sites like
your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

It's very trouble-free to find out any topic on web as compared to textbooks, as I found this paragraph at this web page.
