Special Moments and Seeing the Sights!

This last week has been full of special moments, fun times, and interesting experiences. Since a picture is worth a thousand words I'm going to post pictures of the highlights of the past week and let them speak!



Here we are celebrating Sabboule's 3rd birthday. His birthday is actually in the beginning of May, but since we weren't here he didn't have a party. Denise asked if we could still celebrate it and of course I said yes! He loved it!




Since I have to make everything from scratch, making meals can be time consuming! I really appreciate the help Marin and Robert have been giving me and I'm sure they've learned a thing or two about cooking! Here they are making homemade pizza.



It was very delicious, as you can tell!

In our spare time we've been going on walks and exploring the neighborhood!






We've seen beauty...





and filth...



markets...





and tent cities...



We ate at Epidor, a Haitian fast food restaurant close by,





and helped out at a feeding program...





We visited downtown Port au Prince...



and took pictures of the Presidential Palace...



We visited the Look Out, where we had an amazing view of the city...



and ate lunch at the Baptist Mission.



We drove up the mountain and visited the ruins of Fort Jacques, also badly affected by the earthquake...





and just enjoyed spending time together!

Dear children
Glad you had some nice time together.
It does bring back some good memories, but sad to see that the fort was ruined from the earth quake.
Are you still going to Pignon with your cousin? Hope you have a nice time toghter.
Love Mom
