He came a few days late, but MY BABY IS HERE! He has all his little fingers and toes, is perfectly angelic when he sleeps and wicked when he cries. I donÂ’t want to get into the gross details of how the delivery went, but I do want to say that I was blessed with [...]
Joni: Vas and I went out the other day to visit some factories and companies that are right in our area that have building materials, wood etc. The house we just moved into has been so nice and weÂ’’ve just been happier and happier with it as the days go by but it still needs [...]
Joni: We just started a kids club for the children 5-12 years from all the Family homes here. So exciting!! I’ve been wanting to do this for so long and it’s finally become a reality. We have a ways to go in organization but we figure it’s better to start with something than not to [...]

Here is a video of Kaila, my daughter, reciting her poem about ‘three little crocodiles’. We have been going on a ‘phonics push’ and they were learning the sound ‘c’. This interesting little poem was part of their curriculum too. Three little crocodiles jumping on the bed One fell down and bonked his head Mom [...]
Joni: We’ve had a bout of sickness for the past couple months now—colds, coughs, fevers. Thankfully we’ve all been very healthy for the last 9 months or so that we’ve been here but maybe this is flu season. This sickness that just seems to keep coming back to some of us sure has kept us [...]
Our little town of Jiutepec held a festival in celebration of “The family unitâ€. Our very awesome (yet very nervous) singing group was invited to participate, and so even though they had absolutely no idea what the event, stage, sound, or anything would be like they jumped at the opportunity with their whole hearts.
