Valentines Day

Just for fun...I posted some pics of some of my Valentine's Day decor on my design blog! Check it out. www.designbykelli.blogspot.com

A couple things

I talked to Lindsay today. The kids are doing well. She did extensions in their hair today! So cute! As you can tell by the new pictures added to the slideshow, they look so much healthier! Way to go Trev and Linds!

Also, I wanted to update you on the 10 kids that were unable to board the plane when Trevor and Lindsay left. Their paperwork wasn't totally done so they had to stay behind. As of today all but one is now on American soil! YAY! So happy for the families.

Here are a couple great articles worth reading! Take a peek. They all have direct connections to Trevor and Lindsay. One tells the story behind the story of bringing the children home on the flight they came in on-

Home at last!

Here are some great pictures of the entire family their first week at home! I spoke to Lindsay last night. She shared some very cute stories with me. She said that the kids are adjusting as expected.

Gabrielle,(8) sits with Madalyn and teaches her how to navigate the internet.

Lindsay says the kids love music. Daddy plays his guitar for the kids as they dance. They are ALL loving this special time with Daddy.

Trevor made Rootbeer floats for the kids tonight and they thought it was the coolest thing ever!

Gage, (4) has taught all the kids to lay on their bellies and slide head first down the carpeted stairs. (Carpet is a fairly new concept as well!) Lindsay says they spend hours doing this!

Lindsay is fighting pneomonia and they are all "detoxing" from being in Haiti! But couldn't be happier to have all of the children under one roof!

Spring?

It feels like spring! My tulips and daffodils are popping through the ground. Yay! And did you notice the sunrise today? It was beautiful.

Trevor's children are home from Haiti and life is getting back to normal for me...(whatever that means!) I can't wait to hear more stories about their arrival at home in Pocatello. Of course I will share some of them with you too. :)

On the kid front: Karli and a couple friends started a fundraiser at school to aid in the Haiti relief. They have raised over $3000.00 so far! Way to go!

Arrived in Salt Lake
