New Picture Needed!!
We have a new grandson!! and consequently, we need a new photo for my blog! For those of you who didn't know, Mark and Kristen have been trying to adopt a little boy from Haiti for over 2 years. When Kristen was visiting him in Haiti two weeks ago, the 7.0 earthquake hit causing much devastation, and fear on our part regarding their safety. We finally heard she was safe and all the children in the orphanage were safe, but it was not a good place for any of them. Four days later, Kristen and Karis came home, but without Kembert. After hundreds of phone calls and letters to congressmen, last Friday, Kembert came to the US. Mark met him in Florida and they flew to California the next day. A large group of friends and family members met them at LAX--what a joyous reunion. And now he is home. Learning about his new family, learning a new language, learning about new food, having new experiences, McDonald's, trampolines, a mom and dad, brothers and sisters, cultural experiences we probably aren't even aware of. What a blessing to us all. I am very excited to get to know the newest member of our precious family--can't wait for some very special grandma hugs, and times together. Thank you God, for yet another little person to love and share life with.
