Welcome!

Welcome to the new Dulce Refugio blog! Our friend Jeremy does a great job of updating everybody on things happening with the construction site and when teams are here but we thought we'd give you more of daily life happenings with the kids at Dulce Refugio. And as pictures are worth a thousand words...here's some pictures of the kids!

On Tuesday some of the volunteers took the younger boys to the fair to go on some of the rides... Here's the boys in action with the bumper cars. Luis is in the far left and Adrian and Juan chico are in the front car. They had so much fun!


Luis in action!

The kids were so excited about having hot dogs at the fair! Cesar, Adrian, Juan chico, Rigoberto with Hannah, Luis and Sarah


The older girls threw a baby shower for Celia this week. Celia grew up at Dulce Refugio and is like a big sister to all the girls. The girls planned the entire shower themselves....games, decorations, devotional and gifts. It was so cool to see them use their talents.

Celia opening her gifts...

Here's all those beautiful girls watching some of the games. Great job Alejandra and Juana for planning some very fun games!!
In this picture from left to right: Juana, Malena (behind) Belen, Fani with baby Jose, Mimi, Angela and Lolis


The girls wrote encouragement cards for Celia before the shower.
Here they are in full scrapbook mode...

The youngest child at Dulce Refugio...my little Jose! Here he is trying out his brand new bumbo seat that someone sent from Ontario for him...




Here's Jose doing some of his physiotherapy with Erin and Marion. Marion came all the way from Ontario just to work with Jose and to teach Erin his physiotherapy. She also brought us a lot of cool stuff including that big purple ball and the bumbo seat...

Jose is becoming quite the celebrity! People from all over North America know about Jose and want to hear how he's doing. Marce says that he is an angel sent by God to unite us with people all over the world. We praise God for the life of Jose and the blessing he is to so many!


Here's another picture of Jose in his pool. He just loves to play and splash in the water!


Jose and his best buddy Ricardo hanging out on the couch.
Ricardo loves Jose so much and loves to give him kisses.

Little Ricardo is the second youngest child at Dulce Refugio. He is a sweet, charming little man who is rapidly learning English and Spanish and now sign language.
Here he is hanging out by the pool...
