Some of the sweetest boys you will ever meet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately blogger won't let me add any more pictures today so I just thought I'd do a little update on kids...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Mimi lost one of her front teeth on Sunday!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*On Saturday Dulce Refugio hosted a big fiesta to celebrate the day of the child. We had about 700 kids attend. &lt;a href="http://xanga.com/childrenofhope"&gt;Jer&lt;/a&gt; posted several pictures of this event on his blog...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*My friend (and roommate) &lt;a href="http://skiphiebert.blogspot.com"&gt;Skip&lt;/a&gt; has a new blog about life here in Aguascalientes. Make sure you check it out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5107989289463179474-5194564558797271245?l=dulcerefugiokids.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dulcerefugiokids.blogspot.com/feeds/5194564558797271245/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5107989289463179474&amp;postID=5194564558797271245' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5107989289463179474/posts/default/5194564558797271245'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5107989289463179474/posts/default/5194564558797271245'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dulcerefugiokids.blogspot.com/2008/05/my-little-man-ricky-sarahi-seems-to.html' title=''/><author><name>Erin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14434281231824538941</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_QpRSheFGnMU/SCPFTfXXbyI/AAAAAAAAACk/h0KAJLNmoNM/s72-c/DSCN1921.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5107989289463179474.post-5611296105243251465</id><published>2008-05-01T13:01:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-01T20:27:54.689-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Welcome to the new Dulce Refugio blog!
