Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner. I has been a hectic few days. We looked at an apartment...but it comes with an older woman...nice place, but the concept is to give Marisol a place to be alone with just her family after a full day working with a home full of staff and children. The women was very nice, but I dn't know how much she would want to visit, and I like some down time in the evening, and we would be using bedrooms in her home with no real space of our own. Maybe we're to picky, but we'll keep looking.

Our second little boy arrived yesterday, and there is nothing more heart wrenching than sitting with a young child for 2 days that wants his Mami and has no concept of why he is not going back to her. Dropped here with just the clothes on his back and no piece of home for security. In between tears and begging for Mami, he and Marisol have a great time together. They play outdoors in the yard as much as possible, until the daily rains start up again. Then there are the quieter times indoors when the tears well up. John has been amazing with him! He plays with him (DID A CARTWHEEL IN THE YARD!! new pains), sits and holds him, changes his diapers and bathes him.

Cinthya took the children our for the afternoon and gave us a chance to spen some time with just Marisol. It was nice...when the rain slowed down we walked the the corner store for ice cream and then just enjoyed each others company. The down side was the little boy going in a car. He was sure he was going home and you couldn't convince him otherwise. He came back and the tears didn't stop, except while in John's arms, until he went to sleep.

Until a weekend and evening nanny are hired we have 24/7 duty and I am up every 2 hours with the baby. I think my body wants to shut down...but the break today really helped.

We've had wonderful emotional and Spiritual support from our freinds, family and church brothers and sisters from far North America to South America and Argentina. They keep us grounded and at peace that we are where we are meant to be and no negative input can keep us from Christ's work.

One last note...Marisol tested out my camera before bed and dropped it. There may be no pictures for a while.
