Well, besides starting to pack I have been trying to learn a little Haitian Creole :) I haven't studied a foreign language since high school unless you count coffee shop lingo. Adam and the kids always poke fun at me when when I order at the Starbucks drive thru. I have to admit it takes a little practice to get " venti non-fat white chocolate mocha with whip please" out in one breath. Anyhow, I have been using a great book called Simple Language Haitian Creole for Adoptive Families. I had seen it on Amazon and also on another adoptive mom's blog. So far it has been great! Of course I am far from mastering the Haitian language of Creole. But it's a start. And the most important thing I what to say to Vania I've already learned . "Nou renmen ou anpil !"( we love you so much! ).......Bambi
