The Story Of A Camera


A month ago, JB and her husband traveled to Haiti for a visit to the O. JB took the Easter gifts for my girls. JB was awesome and got pictures of them with their gifts, as well as many other fantastic photos of other children and some of their outings in Haiti. On the way to the airport, upon departure, JB's camera fell out of her pocket and landed in the drivers truck. The driver discovered this long after JB and her hub unit had departed the country, so he entrusted it to another American couple that had also arrived to visit their child at the O. After an extended Haitian visit, the second couple returned to their home in San Diego. She sent the camera to JB in Wisconsin. JB's computer lacked the capacity to download all those jpegs, so she took it too her friend SC who lives near-by. SC is also adopting from the same orphanage, and had downloaded massive amounts of jpegs for JB on her previous trip. However, SC's PC was in the shop for repairs at this time, for what seemed like an extended period of time! The photos were finially downloaded, and so here are some photos of the girls that you have not seen yet. Unless you are JB, the Haitian driver, the California couple, or SC!




"Headbands For Haiti"

What really amazes me about this last photo is W. still has her necklace that I brought her at Christmas. In the rough, tumble, communal environs of the orphanage, this is nothing short of a miracle!

Yes, anytime you see them month after month with *something* from home you know they've had to fight to keep it.

Pretty girls-glad you got the pictures.

Oh, and I love JC's headbands. I need to go order some for Little Miss.
