We are going to Haiti in a couple of weeks with Pastor Brian to visit the girls and hopefully brainstorm with Jamie and Ali about raising money to support Bresma 3. We are meeting with a woman from our denomination who is herself an adoptive mom to three Haitian daughters and an experienced money raiser : )
Received from Jamie today....I told the girls yesterday that you were coming and they are really happy. They were dancing and singing about you coming. F said she is not going in the pool. J said thank you for T's email. She also wanted to tell T that she made a picture of her brother Jimmy and when T sees it she is going to laugh really hard. She made him look like a little boy even though he is a big boy. She is getting really excited to come home. She only talks about you guys. Even the dog.
F's feet grew to a size 7. She still wears the sandals you brought but her toes are sticking over the edge. If you can find some flip flops for J that would be good too. J loves stickers.
I'll post some new pics of my sweet Haitian girls soon.

Update from Haiti
We received this update from Jamie the missionary....
J is doing really well and is starting to read. Not a lot, but she is sounding out words and she recognizes a bunch of words. Those books you bought her that she matches stickers to word are great. She loves those and they are helping a lot.
F is talking so much. I can't believe it. She just finally decided that she can talk and she does. All of the time. Unless she is singing. She is getting reallyinto "school" too. She loves coloring.
I asked about a time frame for J and she said she really can't say. It changes all of the time.
J 46lbs 47in 21 teeth shoe size 13
F 27lbs 33.5in 17 teeth shoe size 7
