And we have so much to catch everyone up on!!!!! We have so much to say... but little time at the moment since family members are waiting for pictures and stories... but in a nutshell...
HE CHECKED YES!~~~They are ours!!!! What a blessing!!!
Caleb David wanted a new name!!! So Now he is Caleb David!!!! Meaning Faithful, Bold, Beloved!! Isabel Guillanda (meaning consecrated to God) is a sweetheart and yet has a temper matching mine from that age... (she is a 2 year old that was way out of her element last week, we give her credit! We were blessed by her silliness and cuddling too!)
We met their birth-parents!!! Lovely people!!! (I got to pray with their mom!!)
Most of all.... THEY CHECKED YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!! I remember that feeling! I have a really big grin on my face!
Post when you can, those of us that didn't go are dieing to hear news from Haiti. (Even if it's not about our own children) Any news is a comfort!
I am sooooo happy for you!!! I too am smiling!! I love his new name. How wonderful and sweet that you had the opportunity to pray with their mothers! Keep us posted as you are able!! love, Sarah mommy to Daniel
OH! Hope i am so glad i met you! The first night i was leaving for St. Joseph's & you weren't there i almost cried when i realized Caleb & Isabel weren't coming with us! I started baby-ing the 2! I would NOT let any of the other kids touch Caleb's new stuff he got from his Mama & Papa (unless he said it wass ok) & one night i rocked Isabel to sleep & sang the "Mommy loves you this i know" song!
And when i heard some guys from the 2nd mission trip talking about the construction i got so MAD & thought: NO THATS ROB'S PROJECT! And wanted to kick them both in the knee! But then i realized that won't be very Christian like & then the 2 guys ended up being very sweet! ;)
MISS YOU 2 & YOUR KIDS!
Welcome Home!
It was a pleasure to get to talk to Rob briefly yesterday. You guys had been in my thoughts and prayers constantly last week. I was wondering how the kids reacted to you as parents and how big your hearts must feel!
I can't wait to see pictures of your new family together!
Big Hugs!
Yippee for the YES box!!!!
I love the name Caleb. I know that must have made him feel so special.
I'm so excited that you got to meet the parents and pray with the mom. What a neat memory to carry for your kids. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I'm just so excited for you.
Can't wait to see pictures and hear more. I like crying these days so BRING IT....I have tissues ready.
Thanks everyone!!! We will update more soon... I know you're all aching to hear more...
I can say... i loved on Daniel, Jonas, Ellie, Steven and Belle as much as possible! What great kids they all are!!!
Lizzie... I'm glad you are not kicking people!!! =) Love you and miss you too!

I feel so blessed to have been in Haiti with you last week. Your children are beautiful, and I can tell what amazing parents you will be/are already!! Hope, you are patient and so easy-going........a natural mom! Rob, I can tell that you and Caleb will be buds!! Best of all, they will grow to know their Lord and Savior because of you! Praise God!
