Happy Birthday Nico!  Today is our nephew's 2nd birthday, and we're all wishing we could be there!  We love you, handsome!

We also welcomed a new member of the Emmaus Biblical Seminary team today, a Doberman named "Ti-Boone" whom Lily is trying to rename Jacuques-O (Jzok-O).  

Hopefully, his presence and size will give the Seminary the security we are in need of (because his playful and submissive attitude probably won't! :)

Also, my lovely sister and her talented husband are just back from their two weeks in New Zealand and Australia (where it is winter!), and I just can't get over these pix...Feels about as far from Haiti as possible (and may well actually be :)

Today, the "Loves", Dr. Rodney, his wife and their three kiddos, are coming over for the afternoon and for supper...Lily can't wait to have some kids come and play with her!

Tomorrow, student Civil's church plant has it's inaugural service, so we'll be attending that in the morning/afternoon (promises to be a long service!) and hope to enjoy the rest of the sweltering afternoon at home!  

 Then, Uncle Don plans to arrive on Tuesday!  We are in desperate need of some help with a few complicated projects (and, Lily's playhouse needs some repairs) and as always, we can't wait to have our friend back, too. With the start of school just two weeks away, things are starting to get crazy!
