Happy Birthday, Lexi!!

Who would have thought 8 years ago, as I was giving birth to my precious Alexis Kathleen, that today we would be spending this special afternoon on a beach with 21 of her little friends in Haiti. Certainly not me!!! We left the orphanage at 2:10pm, the exact time that Lexi was born (her idea) and returned around 6. The kids all had a blast, as usual when they get to spend an afternoon in the water.

We started our day out, many hours earlier with finger jello. The kids LOVED it! :) Then church, me with 14 children under the age of six with me on the bench ... yes, really. That was a bit much. Tomorrow we hit the ground running, starting at 7am with some serious training downstairs. God, be with us!!
