Mid January bump, but nothing compared to Haiti

As the devastation in Haiti has weighed heavy on my heart recently, I want to share a miracle story. One of my college friends has family in Haiti. She immediately came to my mind when all this happened and we began to pray. Soon after, we were receiving emails that her Aunt Mimi was missing and in a collapsed grocery store. After ~ 5 days on her knees (literally) with no food or water, she was rescued alive. It is a miracle story, but her faith in Jesus Christ got her through. She could talk to 2 other people on the other side of a wall in whom she shared her hope in Jesus. She told them that if Jesus cared for the birds of the air, how much more did he care for his children. Her faith is amazing! We praise God that He is being glorified through her testimony! She has shared openly about her faith and survival to many TV stations.
The following links are just a few out there that tell Mireille Dittmer's story (aka Aunt Mimi):

When Grandmother came to visit last January, it was to help us as we were cycling a tummy bug. Unfortunately, her last morning here, I had a one time tummy bug episode. Then Chris became nauseated the next day, then Alex wouldn't eat yesterday. Thankfully, none of us became full blown sick and recovered much quicker than last January. We did enjoy our time with Grandmother this weekend. Mom brought Alex a dry erase book to practice tracing letters and finding hidden ones. Oh my! Alex loved practicing and finding letters with Grandmother.

Enjoying a birthday party during toddler time at the skating rink - such a neat idea!!! Toddlers can bring any riding toy and use on the rink. We forgot to bring anything, but it was ok as all kids shared and used everybody's toys.




Alex excitedly told me she brought some baby toys to David. When I looked, he was surrounded by all these baby toys. ha!
