Another Monday...

Hello Family and Friends... :)

Monday sure does roll around quickly here - and I actually enjoy them. The hype of the weekend is gone and the children are back to their routine today... It's kind of nice.

I have been printing about 50 pages a day for Mother Ivonne on different things; prayers, instructions for building things, lists of things. It's been fun because I get to read everything - very beneficial.

This week she is leaving tomorrow for the Monastery for a week. She needs a break and she can breathe there without 60 children around her... (more like 61, since I am here).

I think the next team comes on the 3rd. They are a group of older ladies from Pennsylvania. Should be... interesting...? :) haha

This week we have Katherine's 12th birthday party on Wednesday - should be fun.

Friday we have Barbara's 15th birthday (Quincenera)... this is a BIG birthday in the Hispanic culture. It defines the point in a young lady's life that she is a "woman" and can be treated as one. (Whatever that means...) I will post pictures of her this weekend after the big party. I am looking forward to it, I can't imagine what SHE is feeling! haha

Well, that's all for now... Here are a few favorite pictures from the last few weeks.

ENJOY!

This is little Daniel when we (Baltimore Team) took the little ones to the park and had pizza and chips for a treat.

This is something a little "artsy" I did while having lunch with Mother Ivonne and the Wisconsin Team.

This is from when I took little Ana to Holy Communion while the Wisconsin Team was here. (Early November)

That's all for now...
