After talking nonstop for the last two hours, I sent her upstairs to sleep in her own bed.
Pictures and stories to come!

They're baaaack!!!
Just got a text from Kat... they have landed in Miami and are going through Customs. She said she'd call me as soon as they are finished with that.
Woohoo! This is one happy mama!!!
The trip home.
Want to follow along? The team will be on the following American Airlines flights:
Port Au Prince to Miami: Flight #822, departing 1:15 pm Eastern (While you'll be able to see the info that the flight has departed, you won't be able to track this flight until it is out of Haitian airspace and over open water.)
Miami to Dallas: Flight #1973, departing 6:55 pm Eastern
Dallas to Austin: Flight #417, departing 9:50 pm Central
You can follow along on American's website HERE under the flight status tab. Or, I like to use the FlightAware website found HERE. Enter the flight info in the "Airline Flight Tracker" fields in the orange box on the left side of the screen.
I will post any communication we have with the team as I receive it.
They're almost home... keep praying!

Sunday update!
Dear Family and Friends,
Well, it is Sunday evening...we are busy packing and starting to focus our thoughts back in the U.S. We have had a wonderful day - we went to church in Prospiro (the place that we painted), ate lunch (cooked by Dee Dee), played at the orphanage, climbed another mountain, attended a birthday party, and on and on and on!
The team won't be writing tonight - it takes a long time and they just told me to tell you all the stuff above. They could give you their version of it all and you'd cry... their hearts are so full of LOVE and JOY after a week of serving and loving on people! They have held more children in their arms and on their backs these past 6 days than they probably have in a lifetime. NO ONE has walked by a child that they didn't touch, hug, hold hands or pick them up. They have worked hard all day long in the heat and NO ONE has complained. They have been dirty and sticky and wanted to sit in a cool air conditioned room or soak in a tub, but NO ONE would exchange this week for anything! Be ready for some great stories!
Tomorrow we visit the hospital here in Dessalines and then head back towards Port Au Prince. We will take some time to relax at the beach and then tomorrow night reflect on the past week and talk about what they will bring back to Texas with them this week after a week in Haiti. God has plans for each of these kids and some of them are starting to see missions in their future.
Keep praying for us. We've been blessed with protection, good health, safety and a wonderful time. Pray for Bethany - she is a little under the weather tonight, but she should be fine after a good night's rest. We are grateful for Dr. Dan being right here by our side!
Blessings and love. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all our dads! We love you very much!
Libbie, Rob, Bethany, and Emmanuel...and the team
