just a glimpse at the preschool class: pilar sweeping dirt into piles of more dirt, nene carrying around her beloved sapos, and who knows what going on in the background...


today was a good day. all of our kids earned their recess (yes!) and during recess i left with angelica to get diapers with some money that was donated and in my bank account. the mexican border has changed recently and isn't allowing us to bring as many diapers or food staples that they used to...this makes it really hard to get donations down to gabriel house. it can be frustrating to know that there's food and diapers sitting in a warehouse in california but can't get to us all at once...

anyways, we made a very necessary stop for fish tacos at the best place in ensenada and bought 1600 pesos worth of diapers and wipes. woo hoo!

i had left some work for alex, tonio, and jose to do while i was gone. they are always so well behaved and love to be put to work...but i was still pleasantly surprised when i came back and they were so excited to show me that they did all the work i left for them!

after dinner, someone put music on and we had a dance party in the big house. it was awesome. sonja and ely were laughing so hard and all the kids down below and the boys were dancing too. SO FUN!




this is josue telling me ALL ABOUT his new shoes...he was very excited.
