This last week I had the privilege to go with my mom down to Haiti to help her bring my two new brothers home. It was quite an adventure as Haiti is really nothing like the U.S. Kendy (pronounced Kenzy) and Jeffrey were very happy to see us and were both real troopers on the trip home. It was a long week including 7 airports in 6 days, time changes and too much humidity. I was very happy to be home on Saturday but very thankful for the opportunity to see where my brothers came from.
Ahhh the beach. We took a walk along the beach but didn't have enough time to linger.
Our hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. We lived the high life for a day before heading to Haiti.
Sunrise over the ocean.
The little airplane we took from Port au Prince to Cap Haitian
The view of the cockpit....from my seat!
Kendy-n-me
Jeffrey...such a cutie!
Playing a little baseball with one of the volunteers from the states.
The main orphanage building where the kids eat and sleep.
Huge mango tree in the middle of the orphanage grounds...it was great for shade in all that heat and humidity.
Mom got them these backpacks to take on the airplane. They were sooo excited...they had to run around and show them to everyone and then they wanted to know when we were leaving.
We got to see some wildlife in the form of a cockroach at the airport.

Thanks for posting! It's great to see all the pics from your trip and the two adorable new brothers!
What a great experience. The Beach in Haiti is beautiful. Those brothers of your sure are cute!
Or maybe that was the beach in Florida... :-) In any event, it looks so inviting!
Christian showed us the album on your computer. Seeing all those kids makes you want to go down and scope them up! Keep us posted on how they are doing.
