We had a birthday debacle this month. When Frankie came home we had some papers given to us that said his birthday was the 28th which is today. I had always thought it was the 20th but figured I was wrong. His HP papers stated differently. So I flagged the date. On March 19th we received a bunch of papers in the mail from Haiti. Legal papers. They had the 20th on them so apparently in process a 0 became an 8. So Frankie’s b-day was the 20th but we were not aware of that in enough time to celebrate. We will be celebrating this week with him as he now is 3. We are not making a huge deal about his birthday this year. Just a small family celebration. Dont think he could take all of that and understand. This time last year this is Frankie celebrating his birthday in Haiti. I wrote about what we did here at Frankie turns 2.
Would never have dreamed like I say all the time that he would be here to celebrate THREE! Happy birthday my sweet three year old. We love you dearly.
You are LOVED.. LOVED… LOVED…
Oh my goodness…your kids are all beautiful! So happy for you all that the birthday you didn’t think would be celebrated at home WAS celebrated at HOME!
Frankie is so adorable! Happy Birthday precious boy!! So glad he is home!!
Hey Kim!
I just watched Frankie’s 2 yr b’day in addition to his 3 yr b’day. I love how Izzie ‘prayed’ the Happy Birthday song! Emma’s smile would certainly melt a heart of stone; God’s gonna use it for His glory!! Also, the pictures of the children are so precious.
I am so joyful for you and Dave and your family. Last year you wondered if Frankie would even be home for his 3rd b’day, and here he is! Just shows how little we understand about God’s perfect timing… a promise that I need to remember today
Keep leaning on Him to guide you through as you continue your journey. Be blessed!!

I found your blog about a week ago hopping from a different Haitian adoption blog and have enjoyed reading your family’s story. I was at work today, picked up a copy of the alumni magazine and was surprised to see some familiar faces. Such a small world!!
