I feel like.......



DANCING!!!

The past two days have been fully bright and happy.
I wish I was back with the kids and nannies singing,
clapping, and dancing around the o. I'm just happy
and miss their songs of praise and joy, their passion.

that's something that I do miss. In Haiti when people
dance, sing, or even clap their hands they do it with
such passion you feed off of each other till everyone is
overflowing with life. It's was such a blessing to be a
part of that. This is funny but I loved my shower time
because I could count on hearing the nannies sing in the
baby room. My favorite song was one they sand witch
incorporates all the kids names into it. The joy on the
child's face was fabulous and they were always dancing.
I also think of Mia and how she could never sit still in church
when Bill was playing the drum and how Noah doesn't have
a care in the world when he dances. Then there is dear
Steven how is learning to dance at St. Joe's and growing up
so fast. I think of that moment when my heart as well as
Angela's swelled with pride.

I've been doing a lot of dancing myself and just called
a 2 hour square dance. I don't think Haitians have
ever heard of that but as long as it makes you happy I
encourage you to dance any way you like.

DANCE!

Dancing is so fun!

We started a tradition when the girls were little. Family dance night.

We put on music and just dance. Most of the time silly stuff but always end with daddy/daughter dance of Butterfly Kisses.

I agree, Haitians have a spirit about them when music is involved!
