Besides worrying about IF and WHEN the kids are ACTUALLY coming...........I found a great laugh from 'things to do today'...
To Do:
1. Clean whole house, thoroughly.
2. Read up on Haitian cooking.
3. Buy a bed and assemble a child's room. Where did you put the other sheets when you moved?
4. Go to the grocery store, and maybe also the ethnic grocery store- to stock up on supplies.
5. Don't forget to do anything for Alyssa and Austin- Pack lunches, show up for duty, send in reading slips, etc.
6. Continue to sit by, receive information from, and process information from the phone.
7. Catch up on laundry, and pull some clothes that will fit Aidan and Samar.
8. Decide on official names for the paperwork.
9. Interact with Austin to make sure he doesn't feel pushed to the side.
10. Keep your marriage completely stress free by communicating all the details in a calm, orderly manner.
11. Pack your bags, of course you don't know where you are flying, so all- season wear.
12. Check fingernail polish for polk-a-dots, grey hair (you may need to part on the other side).
13. Try to keep a low profile from well-wishers- Your phone must be ringing off the hook!
14. Brush up on your Creole.
15. Make sure to stay on top of your rest- you would hate to be overtired!
Have a GREAT DAY!!!!
So.....no new news. Things continue to look good, but just no official words coming together about the when's and where's. i just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who is praying for us. For all the support, the tears, the laughs we've gotten in this. We are strong because of you and GOD!!

Do Not Be Anxious
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

I'm praying for God's timing, safe travels, that these precious little ones will be sleeping under your roof soon and safe!! What an awesome family they are coming home too. This is going to be one of the 'good things' that come out of such a terrible disaster... I'm so glad they are coming home!! Please let me know if you need anything and dont worry about your list!! It will always be there!! :) Love, DeLynn
