Marshall likes to ride in the back of the pickup when he rides to his house with me. I took Tadi's walker a few times because it is a good place for him to practice walking.
Tori and Tadi and I played catch.
The Wulf boys got some remote control cars. We were enjoying Zach's out on the patio.
More rainy days...which is fairly normal for January.
Another pizza night. Rather cozy when it was so wet outside.
Saturday, January 31st I spent a fun day in the states with Alisha and Juana. We saw a rainbow. The next Tuesday I got full care of Tadi as Kendra went home for a visit.
Perla sometimes likes to go on walks with Tadi while he rides his bike.
Laying Tadi on his stomach to help him learn to hold himself up with his arms.
NEW ADVENTURES...
(my bed has the blue blanket)
Kendra left for vacation February 3rd and Pau, the next day, leaving Marce with Yerania, Yaneli, and Mani in the girls' house by herself. So I said I would stay there to keep her company. Five days later, on February 7th, I moved in for good! We knew it was a possibility and I had been thinking about it a lot. Then we found out a Hungarian sister was arriving on Sunday and it might work well for her to share a room with me there, so that really sped up the transition. We are planning to move Tadi out here as well when Kendra arrives home from the states. Marce, Kendra, and Pau will be the houseparents here and we will probably be getting more children to care for. I am enjoying it here as it is much easier to care for Tadi and I really enjoy being with Marce, but I do miss being in on everything up in the main area, kitchen, etc. I am enjoying getting to know Diriczi Rebeka, the Hungarian sister who is staying with me. She is teaching me Hungarian and I am teaching her Spanish. She also wants to improve her English, but already speaks quite a bit.
Tadi's Birthday
Monday was Tadeo's tenth birthday. The kinder class and his siblings both presented him with colored and/or decorated pictures/pages.
We made him a cake too and celebrated at lunch. He was ready to smash his face in it even before we got him a piece ready!
What fun!! He also opened a gift, a play basketball hoop and basketball.
At Cafe Sed with Rebeka the afternoon of Tadi's birthday. He got a free smoothie.
A little photo session with Tori behind Cafe Sed. It would almost be difficult to take a bad picture of her, she is so cute.
Tadi and Timi Ramirez (Alisha's son) sharing Tadi's birthday present.
Please pray for: Rebeka that God would bless her visit here. She plans to stay for about 7 weeks. The Kupferschmids and Beyers as they delve into Spanish studies that God would bless their language learning. All of us here at CVE that as we adjust to all the changes taking place, we would wait, trust, and grow with willingness and thankfulness.
Gift of the Week: For the ground asphalt on the roads here on campus. Last night, as I pushed Tadi home from church, Geo mentioned it. It is SO much easier to push Tadi on the ground asphalt than the rocks that used to be there.
