This is the last time I will post church pictures. It has been a wonderful 8 months. I have had fun with the blog. ENJOY THE PICTURES.

The group gathers for praise and worship!Note Naitile in the pink dress ,she did not want to sing in front of the group-sorry I missed getting a better picture of her.
Samendia is a lead singer,


The boys section. Fritzson is next to Reece-he did sing but I missed getting his picture. Look at these three in the front and you can see trouble in the making.
Reece listened very well..
Elmise was a very strong singer.
Reece could be heard.

Thanks Sandy!! We have loved all the pictures, they help us feel as though we have a look into their daily activities.

We have also greatly appreciated the other efforts you have put forth on behalf of the children. Teaching, training, organizing and growing them in various areas of learning and behavior.

Thank you so much!!

Not the last church pictures... say it ain't so!!! Sandy, everyone really appreciates how much time and effort you have put into making sure that we see pictures of our children on such a consistent basis. These pictures are so much more then just photos on a blog... they are our lifeline to the children that we so desperately want to be with but cannot. Your photos brighten our days and help us smile through this painful time of waiting. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Sandy, your work in Haiti has been amazing. Thank you for all the love, care and respect you have shown the children, O workers and us parents. You have done such a great job. I love you for every little thing you have done for this great group of people. It won't seem the same without you there! Thanks so much for everything! Praying the next chapter of your life is a smooth transition!

Oh Sandy, dearest Sandy... You have been SO wonderful for our children in so many ways! Thanks a million for all your photos. I always love reading your funny comments. I know the kids will miss you, and I will, too! Thank you also for your serious effort to teach them things that will help them one day adjust to living in real family settings. That is truly one of the sweetest things you have done for them. The kids have learned so much about manners, ownership, and taking care of things. They've also been healthier, and I know you are to thank for having purchased extra protein and fruit for them out of your own pocket. We are so grateful! You've truly been doing the Lord's work at TAs.

Sandy-I just want to echo what everyone else has said here-you will be greatly missed-the pictures, your captions and sense of humor-all the hard work you do at the orphanage caring for the children....you rock.

Your posts to the blog with photos of the kids and their activities have truly blessed me-more than I can say.

I pray that your future is blessed and that God goes with you. I also pray that you will keep in touch as you settle in to your new routine!

Thanks for everything.
