We're Back!!

Hi all. Sorry it's been so long since we've blogged. We've all been pretty sick here. Actually I think the entire Valley is ill right now!! There is just so much going around. Kyle had a sinus infection and tonsillitis as well. We recently learned that he's going to need surgery. They are going to remove his tonsils and adenoids. We don't have a date yet but will post when we find out. Please keep him in your prayers as he is scared of the upcoming surgery. At 12 years old (nearly 13), he has never had to have any iv's or surgeries, unlike his sister who has had more than her fair share. So understandably he is quite nervous. Katie is currently on her second dose of antibiotics. The first was for strep throat, now a week later the throat is better but she now has a double ear infection. I have a lovely upper respiratory infection, and Darrell is trying to fight off that wonderful flu bug that's going around. So as you can see we've all been quite preoccupied lately.
The good news is that all of the donations have been repacked into suitcases and are ready for their trip to Haiti. The next person/family traveling to Haiti for pickup (adopting a child/children) or a visit will take the suitcases with them and deliver them for us.
We are still collecting more donations. We are hoping to send out the next packages in a few weeks. So please remember us when you go shopping or clean out your children's closets!!
