We learned that orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes. -David Platt

Recent Happenings

It's been a busy month. Here's a bit of what's been going on...

Baby S came home from Port Au Prince!

After six weeks in the hospital, including three weeks on the ventilator, we were pretty happy to have our little miracle baby back at COTP!

This boy continues to blow me away with all the new milestones he's achieving

If this wagon full of cuteness doesn't make you smile, I don't know what will

During her visit, I took Jess to my favorite "restaurant" in Cap Haitien :)

Good food and good company

The blue handprints and footprint on the right are from when we first brought B to COTP.  He's grown so much since then!

He sure has a lot of personality

My brother returned with the custom braces his company made for some of our kids with special needs

I loved M's reaction when he got up on his own two feet!

We're excited to see how these braces will help our kiddos to reach their full potential

Happy girl

J and M came to live with us this month

M had her first taste of bacon.  It's safe to say, she likes it!

Taco Tuesday is always a reason to smile :)

I'm blown away by how tough this munchkin is

F's Cinco de Mayo fourth birthday celebration

Baby S has been busy growing just a bit from 2.7 to 4.1 kg this month. Take that tuberculosis!


All smiles

Dressed in her Sunday best


And some video from the Cinco de Mayo birthday celebration, for your viewing pleasure!
