Women's Program went well today. We had a smaller group today, not sure why so many were absent. Today was Early Childhood Development day, moms come to this class for one year after their babies are born. After class John Ackerman, a nurse and 20 year resident of Haiti is available to listen to sick babies and try to offer the moms some help and encouragement.I am going through this odd season of reflection. Reflecting on the past, uncertain about the future ... basically just sort of unsettled. Traveling seems to do that to me, but also I think it is because we went to a couple of counseling appointments when we were in Minnesota and we talked a lot about what we've learned about ourselves during our time in Haiti. (And what we have learned about Haiti -- which is basically that it won't ever be understood by us.) Those appointments were really good for us - and important - but I am ready to turn my brain off and just feel all settled in my soul again.
I was looking back at our old videos and realized that this one was taken three years ago today. We lived 90 minutes from Port au Prince and we'd been in Haiti only 10 months.
I wish I would not have blinked. Just like that, they're big kids.

Ahh they are so little and cute. The baby in the top photo is SO beautiful!
You guys have lived in Haiti for a long time now-I did not realize it had been three years.
lol I love that video...they're bigger but their personalities are the same
Tara, I feel for you. I'm going through an unsettled period too.
yours in the struggle,
Heather
Four years in Haiti is 3 years and 360 days more than I can handle. I came once for a week and it was very hard for me. I thank you for sticking with it. I will pray for this unsettled time to bring you a new clarity and that peace will come quickly. I enjoy your blog so much and thank you for sharing your story.
Praying for you, Tara. LOVE the video ... that was just a few months before I met them the first time and I remember that time oh so well! Love it! Can't believe it has been 3 years. CRAZY!
Four years ago right now we were fundraising, packing to move here, and fuh-reaking out.
Oh my, the kids ar so so cute.
You are going through a phase - well, that's good becuase it means you have been settled, you know you will again. The mountain looks the highest when you are standing right in front of him, but once you clinbed up - you see it's just another bump on the road.
All the best!
