photo shoot

The girls had quite the photo shoot with one of the guys that came down in the last group that visited.

I could get weepy over looking at how grown-up they look and the fact that I can't help but think of their 'senior pictures' when I look at these.

Guess who is now standing up and trying to walk! Little miss Kiara...

Mariline cute as ever...

Rosiany is way too comfortable posing. She's hilarious.

Ornery Genese. This picture says it.

Love that little grin of Dalindia's...

And the queen diva of them all....Ciara :)


The women that were here also made these incredible scrap books for the girls. They LOVE looking through them. They were so excited when they first saw them...


They ask to look at them all.the.time.








I'm so glad that they have these special gifts that we can continue to add to over the years. And by 'we' I mean you wonderful women that made these in the first place! haha ;)



And to end on one last picture...this was me on my due date. And now I am sitting with my feet up tonight closer to 41 weeks than 40... and trying to hold onto my patience.

My parents and younger sister are here until tuesday to help out. PLEASE pray that our little guy comes soon so that they can see him before they go home !! And as always, thanks for keeping us in your prayers. It makes all the difference :)

  11. Jaylene,
    You have a beautiful maternal glow. We pray for the safe arrival of your baby boy. Hopefully he will come soon while grandma is still with you. You and Jared are surely blessed and your "little sweethearts' are so adorable.

    Everytime I think of those beautiful girls I just cry, my heart is filled with so much love for them and you! They are so precious and I thank God that he has placed you both in their lives. Thank you for opening your home and lives to us when we were in Haiti!!! So glad the girls loved the books!! Remember we are on call for when you need more pages!!! :)

    Praying for a safe delivery of Baby boy!!!
    Love,

  13. Wow, I was unaware that your due date is past & am praying for that safe delivery...soon. When Ronnie & I lived down there in '83 a couple from MCC stayed @ the mission house while we went to the north for I think about 10 days, & they had baby Luke @ the Adventist Hospital, there in Port au Prince...they used cloth diapers & he made a washingmacine by putting the diapers in a 5 gallon bucket & then using a toilet plunger I guess to get the water moving =) ...It sounds as if you are in good hands...& an advantage for your baby he will have duel citizenship...Blessings & Love to you, Ina for the Yoder's

  14. They are so beautiful it makes me want to cry. And I loved the pic of your favorite Dr checking you last post :) SOOO cute. Praying that baby comes soon. I loved being born in another country and your little boy will too. You guys are doing such great work out there and it shows in the way those girls are thriving!
