My little man, Ricky!

Sarahi seems to love muffins!

Some of the boys hanging out in their house...
From clockwise left to right: Marco, Rafael, Raul, Eduardo and Jose grande

The orphanage...in technicolor yellow! The boys live straight ahead in the little casa behind the vans and the girls live in the large yellow building on the left. You'll notice our vans in the picture as well. The blue one actually has Alberta license plates as a church in Coaldale, Alberta donated that one a number of years ago to our sister orphanage, Pan de Vida, who in turn have donated it to Dulce Refugio.

Brothers! Juan, Christian and Edgar taking a photo break from their chores in the kitchen! Some of the sweetest boys you will ever meet.

Unfortunately blogger won't let me add any more pictures today so I just thought I'd do a little update on kids...

*Yesterday we received a new little girl. She was brought to the orphanage by her grandma. I'm not sure of any other details about her other than little Joseline is almost 3 years old. She is going to be sharing a room with Lolis, Mimi, Sarahi and Manuella.

*Baby Jose has two new teeth this week! That makes four for the little guy. He also had his very first chocolate donut this week and loved it!

* Mimi lost one of her front teeth on Sunday!

*Celia had a baby boy, Daniel Isaac, on Saturday. He is so tiny! Only 4 1/2 pounds of sweet baby goodness! I will try to get pictures soon to post!

*The kids are back at school this week after a two week vacation. The city closes the schools for the first two weeks of the fair.

*On Saturday Dulce Refugio hosted a big fiesta to celebrate the day of the child. We had about 700 kids attend. Jer posted several pictures of this event on his blog...

*My friend (and roommate) Skip has a new blog about life here in Aguascalientes. Make sure you check it out!


I'll try and post more pics and give more of an update tomorrow night before I head back to Canada for a few weeks.
