We're all kinda moping as we think about Paige leaving in just over a week. She is staying another week in order to take the SAT, attend her boyfriend's high-school graduation, and go to prom. We're so stinking excited for the adventures she'll have this summer but we're selfishly going to miss the fun she brings into our lives. Isaac just wrote a little bit about what he'll miss most about her and it included the "parties" she throws. As a much older big sister (7 years between Paige and Isaac/Hope) she does a lot to love on her younger siblings. Our June and July without her will be dance-party-less I'm afraid.

These three ladies are the California gals that will get to party with Paige soon. "The Sarahs" are hosting Paige at their house. Kim is teaching Paige the ropes of therapeutic riding and allowing her this amazing summer learning adventure. This whole thing is a huge gift to Paige and a direct result of friendships built in Haiti. We're uber thankful and aware that God's love is abundantly evident to us through these relationships.

Rosena had a very tall 8pound 8 ounce baby boy at 3pm Friday. Most Haitian women have very short second stages and babies come flying out after a few pushes. Rosena had to work a lot harder and pushed for a little more than an hour to get that giant boy delivered. After the birth Rosena lost a lot of blood and her son had a fever. They're being monitored at the postpartum "wing" now; we're praying for quick healing and no further complications for either of them. To check out the ladies due in June and July and choose one or two to pray for, please see this post.
