Q: What do you do with yourself when you're supposed to be in Haiti, but you're in Michigan instead?

A: Have a sleepover with the lifelong friends you said a tearful farewell to just a day before; sit around at church and teach any random junior who happens to be walking past how to get a 12 (out of 12) on their ACT essay; and take a buncha photobooth pictures.

Current plan of action is to fly to New York City on Wednesday night, spend the night with relatives, and fly out of NYC Thursday morning to Port-au-Prince with an estimated arrival of 1:25 PM on Thursday, August 30...

How Kathryn feels when she's supposed to be in Haiti but she isn't and how Clara feels when Kath's supposed to be in Haiti but isn't:


How Kathryn and Clara will feel on Wednesday night:


How Kathryn and Clara will feel on Thursday morning:


How Kathryn feels about the fact that Clara looks happy on Thursday morning:


How Kathryn (and Clara??) will feel when Kath gets to meet all those sweet little babies on Thursday:


How Kath and Clara will feel when it's time for Kath to come home:


How Kath and Clara will feel when Kath is home:


How Clara feels about bed bugs (aka Kath's way of trying to get her to express an emotion other than happiness):



Two more days to go.

  1. Kathryn, we're so happy with you about your upcoming arrival to Haiti, and we're so excited with you about your time with the precious babies there. And we're praying for your travel and for your whole year. : )

    Clara, you are so cute! So nice to see your smile x 7.

    : ) (that's how I feel about both of you)

  2. Those are my nieces! Love the "photo booth" images, especially all those happy Clara faces. I'm sure there is a lot of nuance in the change of happy expressions...For instance the Happy Clara on the day you are leaving is really a "I'm so happy that Kathryn finally got to leave on her adventure because it means so much to her and the babies she is going to care for in Haiti." It does NOT read "I'm happy she's gone because I finally get the bedroom (and it's resident bed bugs) all to myself!"
