A little bit more thorough of an update

Here's a little bit more now that I have time to write!
Our trip to Chicago went very smoothly. We didn't get stuck in any traffic jams or anything like that- but we saw plenty of them! We checked our bags amazingly quickly, and got through security fine. When we checked in, we were told that our flight was an hour and a half late. Ok, we can deal with that. We waited around for close to three hours while they changed our gate on us several times, and then they delayed our flight even longer! Then the lady gets on the intercom as they start boarding and announces that if they don't close the plane door in 15 minutes, we'll be spending the night in Chicago! We all had a mild freaking out moment, as that would have MAJORLY screwed up our flights for the next day. Everyone boarded quickly enough, and we did end up flying, 2 hours later that it was supposed to be. We appreciate your prayers for smooth travel- it could have been a very ugly situation without them.
We arrived at the Miami Airport at 2:00 am. Yes, that's right. We needed to start checking in again and going through security around 7:30, so we all managed to get between 2 and 4 hours of sleep, depending on our amounts of tiredness and excitedness for the next day.
Our flight to Haiti said everything was good, everything boarded on time, then they announced that a passenger hadn't shown up who did check bags, so we had to wait for a while, while they removed those bags, and then we left for Haiti! I think almost everyone dozed off during the flight...We landed at around 11:50 Haiti time, so not too late. I was so incredibly amazed by how quickly we got through the airport! It's normal for us to be missing a bag, for a bag to be the absolute last one off the plane, etc. when we are only traveling with 4 suitcases. When we traveled with 22, every single one was there, and they all started coming to the terminal exactly once I walked through immigration! Wow! Customs was a breeze (I think partly because they didn't want to search through 22 bags!), and we found the four cars from GLA waiting for us out in the parking lot.
The drive up to the orphanage went very well. Hopefully someone who is new to Haiti can share some feelings about all what they saw- I'd rather have it come from them instead of me! Once we got to GLA, we got a tour of the nurseries, and then started with the babies! Each of us were assigned to three babies to give individual attention during our week here. We can't use names on the internet, so you'll have to email us individually for all the details (or talk to us once we get home). They are all absolutely adorable! I am very proud of our team for the way that they are digging right into the work- everyone was up on the balcony this afternoon, holding and playing with their babies, whether it was in their comfort zone or not. I loved watching the rest of my friends here pouring out love to these little kids that hold my heart. They did great!
We are all exhausted right now! Some are in bed already, and most of us will be there soon. We made a few detours into the tiniest babies nursery tonight, to just cuddle and hold them. Several of us decided this is going to be a nightly occurance! It's kind of odd to me, because I'm used to staying at the Toddler HOuse from my other trips, not the main house with the babies.
Tomorrow, we are hoping to leave at around 9:30 to go souvenier shopping at the mission, and shopping at the grocery store. That should take at least a few hours, and then we will be hanging around the rest of the afternoon and evening. Don't worry, we'll get plenty of baby cuddling in too! I'll see if the internet is working well enough to perhaps get a few pictures up on the blog too...
Thank you for all of your prayers! We appreciate them, and have felt their affect! Please keep them coming!
