Independence Day






As you can see by the last photo, Jeremiah’s two front bottom teeth have come it. Since then he’s been eating nonstop…bananas, rice, anything he can get close to. He can scoot a little bit now, but it's always backwards. It seems to me that he prefers standing (with support) more than crawling. The other day he was standing just holding on to the table. He didn't pull himself up to that position, but once he get's the hang of pulling himself up, it'll only be a matter of time before we're chasing after him.

The other photos are from Honduras’s Independence Day parade we had last week. (In the second photo you can see Selvin, the boy we brought with us to the US in the very front.) It took a lot of planning, but it all paid off that day to see the kids so excited. I was in charge of the band and dancers, so I had my hands full. The director's aren't here, so Terrez has been in charge of the entire middle school & high school & has really had a full plate. Now we are preparing to for next week’s adventure where we have to take the band and the upcoming graduates into town for a special presentation. After that things will be a bit more calm ☺

New Responsibilities

We've both been super busy & haven't had the time to update the blog. I am officially working in a house with the big girls & special needs. So far nothing major has happened. It's been good getting to know some of the girls outside of the school & see how they act when they're not around boys. Some are better & some are worse. Terrez & I both have more responsibility in the school. Neither the principal nor the superintendent are here right now, so we've had to step up. Once we get more adjusted the blog will be updated more often.
