dancin in the guesthouse

This is Tiyou and he is going to be in the dance Kel and I are choreographing for the Christmas Pageant. We're doing a hip hop version of jingle bells... what could be cuter than that? AND we have all of the 5 & 6 year olds so it's bound to be an awesome performance. We had our first practice last night and although we only got through the introduction before they all had to go to the bathroom and started begging for chocolate, it was a really good start. And we are so excited for Whitney, Anna, Courtney and Liz to visit this week! God is so good!

beauty.

hi friends!

sorry it has been so long since we last posted or blogged or whatever you call this. It has been busy around maison d'lumiere this past month and the next two weeks are about to get crazier. But we promise to try to update this thing at least a few more times because we only have a little over two weeks left! We can't believe it! But one thing we are sure of is that we are in love.....

-We are in love with Jesus
-We are in love with the kids at this orphanage
-We are in love with the people in this country
-We are in love with the wonderful staff we get to work with each day (that one sounds kind of weird)
-We are in love with Mariah Carey christmas songs
-We are in love with riding in the back of trucks and flying over pot holes
-We are in love with ice cold showers and haitian spaghetti

Maybe we like the last 3 more than love them... but haitian spaghetti is really good.
