Lend a Helping Hand...


As most are aware, Jon and I sponsor a ministry in Haiti called Pwoje Espwa ("Project Hope"). You can see the link on the left directing you to "Theo's Work" which will take you to their blog. I came across this ministry as a dear friend and past co-worker was deeply involved in supporting the children's health care of this wonderful project.

Everyone once in a while they make specific requests to help build-up their little piece of heaven in Haiti. Which is not easy given their current, radical, polictical issues.

I wanted to put a plug out to anyone that might be able to offer up some assistance Here's some items that they've requested a need for:


  • A saxophone for Deronce Pierre-Jackson who's taking a course at a local music school

  • Money to pay for food, salaries, personal hygiene products (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc.) , repairs to the vehicles

  • Money for linens for everyone to have their own

  • Here are some estimated costs for future projects: Fence for housing $40,000, Houses to homes $3,000 each house, Playground $4,500 (includes see-saw pump for water), Library $35,000

Phone Issues...

I apologize to all, as Jon and I are having phone issues. Our phone line is o.k. but both of our aged cordless phones decided to go die at the same time. I'm wondering if there was a power surge or something. Anyway, if you're trying to get a hold of us, try our cells Shannon's 515-991-6602 or Jon's 515-867-4882.

Thanks!

We all wanted to see it, well here it is...

By Day I'm a bouncing, baby boy...

By Night I'm a Punk Rocker...
El Chicito Guapo... (Handsome Little Boy)
We've all wanted to see Gavin with his hair spiked, like dad. His hair is longer on top so he ended up more like Uncle Wes than Dad but very cute none the less. Well last night I was trying some conditioner for cradle cap, and it was just the perfect consistency to do his 'do up right.


Love is beautiful, even prehistorically!

A creature in our bath tub!

When it's time to take a bath for Morgan we never know what we'll get. Sometimes it's singing, playing with her toys but this time she's a monster of some sort. This was just to cute...I walked in to check on her and found her doing this. We both just laughed at each other.
