grandpa in the sky

for thanksgiving {a lovely event of which i took zero photos}
we all headed to st. george, then henderson.
and in vegas that weekend my 82 year old grandpa went skydiving.
because he's just amazing like that.


 lots of cousins, aunts and uncles came out to support.








charlie was deeply impressed.

such an inspiration. 82 years old, still loving life and living it to the fullest.
well done grandpa.

painting nails.




laurent, on the left, was glued to rob's side the whole time.



getting my hair done. they wanted to play with it constantly.



jude. he was sick and laura took him under her wing.

the littlest guys. couldn't get enough of them.

couldn't be more in love with this one. such a hard worker.
such a good heart.

twins.

the streets of haiti.




schneider, making the letters for this year's christmas cards.


markens. this little man has a personality bigger than life.

notice their drawing. yep, my heart melted.






sweetest little bug.



the orphanage. a giant concrete building filled with lots of cold hard floors
and warm little hearts.







the birthday party for all the kids.


oh these faces...


i don't have the words to accurately describe our week at the orphanage.
simply put, it was life changing.
we're in love with all those sweet little souls 
and we'll be connected to them for always.
