Zach leaves for Haiti

Well, today is the big day! Zach is out of the United States and headed for Haiti. I am so glad that he has the opportunity to go and serve. And he is so excited...what a needed change of scenery for this relatively frustrating "what the heck are we doing?!!" phase of our lives. If I was to go to Haiti, I think I would be almost worthless as a nurse. I would rather hold babies and play with kids. It would be so hard to leave that place, and leave them there...without anything. Oh, how I wish there was more I could do.

When our kids get bigger, I hope that we can all go on some sort of a disaster relief trip together. I really want my kids to know that there is more to the world than themselves. And more to the world than America.

While Zach is gone, I am holding down the fort with the two little ones. And at the moment they are making each other laugh way too hard...instead of drifting to sleep like they are supposed to. The kids and I have a busy week planned...things on the schedule every night while Zach is away. It will go by fast, and we are praying every day for his team...for safety, health, unity, etc. I am looking forward to hearing many stories upon Zach's return...time to go check out the diaper situation and see if there is a good excuse for this delayed nap time :)
