More bursting into tears: woke up, came straight to my computer, straight to Kristen’s husband’s FB page, and saw that she is SAFE ON US SOIL! She made it to the through the US Embassy in Port-au-Prince and they did indeed take them through Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. She is with another adoptive […]
First, Kristen and Karis are at the US Embassy, where they will presumably be put on a flight tonight or tomorrow morning through the Dominican Republic back to the US. Not a done deal, and we’ll all have much more peace when she is back on US soil, but it’s good sign that she is […]
Please read Kristen Howerton’s blog post–link to the right and also here. She was in Haiti during the earthquake and continues there amidst the devastation, trying to find a way out.

Now that I have everyone’s attention! Here’s a Carsonism, fresh from this morning. You see, Carson has been potty trained for over a year and a half, but still doesn’t wake himself up in the night to use the restroom, so he wears pull-ups to bed. Sometimes he stays dry, usually not. Early this morning […]

“Who was that masked man?” Carson is intrigued by all things superhero related. He has an affinity towards Superman, because his daddy and uncle do as well. He also loves Spiderman, which is a perfect example of American consumerism at its best, since Carson has not seen even one television show or movie with Spiderman. […]
