oh goodness!!

it was hard, i admit, when i first moved to haiti to make friends. i couldn't speak a word of creole and i didn't know exactly how to relate to the nannies. but one woman was kind to me right from the start. nicole. she attempted to joke with me. she told me about her family. she asked about mine.
nicole always has a smile. she has the best laugh; it's so contagious! i hate her days off. they are never as fun as the days she is at angel house. it's just a little bit more quiet around the house.
nicole is my confidante. nicole is my sound board. she is kind and trustworthy! she loves the children, especially ellie. she often allows ellie to "help" her with her housework!
while i was out of town and unable to access my pictures, nicole had a birthday! i'm so sorry to have missed it. michelle, can you please show her this post?!
