We are Here!!!

We made it! We got to GLA's guest house around 2:00, got our luggage out of the car and were told the girls were waiting right in side. We went inside and came around the corner to find the three of them sitting patiently on a couch. We ran up to them and hugged them. They got into our laps. They were shy at first, but that quickly faded. Falancia is very talkative. Jiovenda and Sivencia are very quiet. Sivencia has already given Brian kisses and wants to be constantly held. She calls him "papa".

We ate spagetti for lunch. We are now at the Main House, where the babies live upstairs and kitchen and offices are downstairs. We are waiting on dinner.

Our paperwork got here ahead of us. The Embassy would not take photocopies, but they have the originals that came and will be emailing about the visa soon. We are hoping that we do not have to go to Port Au Prince. It was a long, very bumpy road and drivers are crazy.

We will post pictures later when we can. Flights were all good. Hope my boys are reading this. We miss you very much and can't wait to come home.
Love,
Allison

We are so glad you made it safely. We can only guess what that first greeting was like. Looking forward to seeing all of you.

When Aiden comes there will be more familiar faces in Holland!!

Blessings to the WHOLE Shira family!! Love, Denise

The driving/riding in vehicles in Haiti is hardly something you can describe to someone else--you have to experience it. Fortunately no one goes to fast!

I am glad meeting the girls went well. I am surprised that Falancia is talkative! I think that is a good thing! I hope today was a good day with them as well.
