Call to Haiti....

Islande talked with her family in Haiti last night. She wanted to find out if they got the tent that the Nuests brought to Haiti for them. They got the tent, they were very thankful, their first house ever...She was sooo excited! Imagine what they have been going thru... they sent their daughter to live in another country and they just want to know if she is ok. On Friday, Don's cell phone had 5 calls from Haiti, the only number they have of ours is his cell phone. She got to talk to several family members but her 5 yr old brother wasn't there, he was out walking around.. the mother didn't know where he was.. very telling about the discipline that Islande had when she lived in Haiti.

Nobody wanted to go to school today.. what a struggle... just didn't feel like it. Needless to say, they went anyway. Then went to bed a half hour early tonight (7:30) so they wouldn't be so tired tomorrow morning. It's 7:45 and they are both singing from their beds, (Islande at the top of her lungs) to let us know they weren't happy about the earlier bed time.
