Greetings from Haiti everyone.

I want to post some photos on the blog but have little time to write. I promise to write soon. A photo is worth a thousand words so there is a great message here.

Kids were ill for a few weeks - one after the other. The cold/flu just seemed to go around and around. Now the employees are ill and it is getting them - 2 and 3 at a time - Jessie, Seth, Magalie, Antoinette are all ill and an hour ago Naomie came up for meds as she is going under.

School report cards were given out today so this year is officially finished. Luckner and I are already planning next year. Speaking of school - during the writing of exams a big snake got into the preschool classroom. I was so very sorry I was stuck supervising a group of grade 7 and 8 students, who like to cheat, so I could not go see it or take photos. Luckner says to tell brother Don he wishes he could have seen it. It was 10 plus feet long and as big around as Luckner's arm. Not the normal small ones we see. Most Haitians are fearful of snakes. At the school that day a lot of the kids were scared and teachers were worse. There were a lot of screams and people running. I wished I could have run towards it with my camera.

My bed is calling my tired body and my brain has already shut down so thats all for now folks. Stay tuned and I will do a better job next time.

Blessings to all of you.
Karen and kids

Thanks Karen for the update! Hope you are feeling better - thanks for the photos, they were worth a thousand words. Great pictures of the children and how they are growing - wow! What a difference I see in them especial Ty Luc.
Your children are always so well dressed - love baby Sandra & her dress!!
I drop in often but not always leaving a comment. However, you are all in my thoughts and prayers daily.
We are going on vacation on Saturday to Edmonton and we will see William Lidstone there - looking forward to seeing him - haven't seen him since childhood days.
Now my friend, the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and those you love ..
Love, Prayers and God's blessings everyday,
Maxi
Hugs for the children - you too!!!
