Great weekend! Nelson delivered 50 pounds of chicken

and bananas to our friends at Fundaninos and a ton of soccer and kickballs to CRPN.

It was great for me to have a buddy to explain what we are up to. What we can do and what we steer clear of.
Walking around the super store to buy toys for the kids, we got to brainstorm about what works and what doesn't.
He was intuitive and insightful quickly. The CRPN kids are really tough on everything and it has to be durable
and functional. He acquired a blow up punching(like) bag for small children and the kids loved it.
He had the opportunity to help feed kids at lunch. He had the assignment of helping Moises to eat and
he found it very rewarding and emotional. What more can we ask for?

Great news about my FR friends. They are coming down in April! One project will be some type of profiling and
story telling about each of the kids. Many of them have lost their personal stories and have no fotos of their earlier
years. We approximate birth dates for some and have invented names for some.

My daughter Lizzie is coming to visit this week and I head to NYC to see Ma in the beginning of March. No rented car for
me this week. Helps keep me focused on the kids. I have just enough of a life here that I can get distracted with the think of thin
things


I debate posting things like the article about the bud drivers assistant. I don't want to be alarmist, but danger is very real. I say this for visitors and not for myself. I am clever and keep a very low profile. Those of you who know me well, know that I am a big mouthed know it all and keeping quiet is not my strength. In this case, I take it very seriously. I do not cower in fear, but I do not stroll cavalierly around the neighborhood or city either.

Have a good week.... unless you have already made other plans
