Never did I or Payt imagine spending our first Thanksgiving as a married couple in Haiti with our one year little boy.......
It was different to say the least, but we would not have traded our time as a family for any parade, turkey dinner, yummy desserts, or other family traditions. We dearly missed our families and thoroughly look forward to having our baby home next year to celebrate!
Instead of watching the Macy's Day Parade, we watched Baby Noah and Boz via lap top......
We got to enjoy most of our day at The Caribbean Lodge Resort where Rowen had his first experience in a swimming pool......
The only time he has taken a full fledge bath is when we were here last October (Haitians usually just sponge bathe their children) so you can only imagine what he thought about a pool of water.....he slowly warmed up.
We may not have be able to enjoy turkey and dressing this year, but I scored with a big ole' pizza. If you know me well, you know I'd rather be eating pizza than just about anything......
So thankful to the point of tears for my precious family that God has placed together. Payt and I were reminiscing at dinner about our first Thanksgiving together......two years ago as a fresh dating couple and my first trip to Guin. God has done so much in the past two years and we are so thankful and so blessed!
God is good! And we thank you again for your prayers. They have been felt and they have definitely been answered. Little man is feeling so good and nearly eating our bank account empty!
We go to court tomorrow to sign papers for guardianship over Rowen and Wednesday we should have our waiver in hand.....please, please pray for this process to go smoothly and efficiently. Our prayer is have the waiver on the airplane with me next Friday. We thank yall and love yall so much!!!
