Hurricane Dean ... we're ready for you!!!

As many of you are likely aware, Hurricane Dean is headed in the direction of Haiti. We spent a few hours this afternoon putting everything from the balcony into the house, as well as many of John's tools and gadgets on his work table. We tried to think of everything that might possibly be in trouble if we get some nasty winds tonite. The hurricane is currently a level 4 hurricane; however, it is continuing to pick up speed the reports are saying. By the time it reaches Jamaica tomorrow, it is expected to be at a level 5. We are expecting a lot of rain, and also a fair bit of wind together with it. We are praying we don't get anything serious our direction. There is a very good chance if it will be raining tomorrow all day, we will not have any internet access; however, once things are back to normal, I will update you to let you know how we all faired. We're not too worried, but we want to be prepared as well.

Hi LaDawn,
What a great surprise that you'r back! We are adopting parents from Holland and desperately waiting for our son Dénilson.
It is so great to read your stories in your weblog, this realy feels like a connection with GLA and our son, thank you for that!

Take care and we are also praying that Dean doesn't strike Haïti.

All the best and blessings,
