Bringing Home Sebastian Pierre: Earthquake

http://threeangelshaiti.org/

Earthquake

Well, as you all know by now, there was a 7.0 earthquake in Haiti yesterday at 5pm. The damage is major and thousands have died.
We were so worried about Three Angels, the kids there and especially Sebastian...it was so incredibly hard not to think the worst.
We met with about 15 friends from chuch to pray last night and at about 11pm, found out that the kids were all ok!!!!!!
Praise God!!! We were SO relieved, beyond belief...
They are staying across the street at a house that seems safer. We don't know at this point how extensive the damage to the orphanage is.
A team is heading out there in a day or two to assess the damage and decide what type if help is most needed right away.
So, for now, our little boy is safe as far as we know.
It's heartwrenching to not be there to comfort him, but we know God is taking care of him and all the kids there. We have to take comfort in that.
That's it for now...
Please pray for Sebastian and all of Three Angels and the people of Haiti...

My family together...(part of us, at least...)

My sweet family....
my babies... :)))





I just talked to Eric and Helayna on "Skype" and Helayna was holding Sebastian! It was a pretty bad connection, so it was very jumpy and I didn't really get to see live video, it was more like snapshots...but it was of all 3 of them together, and it was so adorable!
He is such a cutie and they say he's so happy and has a great disposition...which probably means trouble when he's older...!!! (haha)
While they were talking to me, he fell asleep on Helayna, which was so sweet...one second he was up, the next asleep! So funny!
Makes me want to grab Mia, get on a plane and go down there so we can all be together...
The internet is terrible there, so they haven't been able to send many pictures at all or any videos, which is a bummer...I was so looking forward to that. But I guess I'll just have to wait another week til they get home...
They are both doing really well over there and really enjoying it. Mia and I are also doing well at home. It's funny, I was so nervous to send Helayna to Haiti and now that she's there, it just seems "right". (coincidence? I think not!) I do miss them very much, though. It's strange, though. Rather than wanting them to come home, I feel like maybe we should go there?!?! Weird...I have no idea what that's about! But, I still can't wait til they come home on Friday...although they'll be without little S :(
Once I get pics, I will for sure post them on here....
Missing my family:(
xoxoxo
