On Sunday we went to the orphanage to visit some of my favorite little people. As soon as we got there all of the kids were requesting piggy-back rides...
 |
| Alberto and Heather |
Their three favorite things to do are get piggy-back rides, watch a movie with us, and use my camera to take pictures.
I really like this one...

| Kids, kids everywhere |
While we were there Carrie told me that Maria Isabel (the little girl sitting to my right (if you're looking at the picture)) asked her what my mom's name was so she could keep her prayers*. What an incredible little girl -- I was beyond touched!
*I'll explain what's going on with my mom in my next post.

| Maria Jose, Julissa, Yarhitza, and Maria Isabel |
Maria wanted to try my glasses on...

| How sophisticated! |
Heather with our mini me's...

Monday after school we both caught a bus to Tegus, spent the night in a moldy hostel, ate some Pizza Hut (I was in heaven!), and then flew home the next day.
Thanks for coming to visit me Heath! When I came back to school last Thursday the kids asked "and Miss Heather?" and the kids at the orphanage asked the same thing today. You're loved in Honduras :)!

So glad you're blogging again! ;)
Loved the "smashed mob of love" picture in the post from a few days ago!
Glad you and Heather had a great week!
One thing I notice every time I read your blog and look at the photos... kids are kids no matter what country or what language... they all love the same things! :)
Kare
