Lina made it home safely with Karla Genoviva. All the kids are very excited to welcome their little sister!
We were able to visit Lina and her newborn baby girl. Mom and daughter are both doing very well.
A lot of good friends have been coming by to visit and encourage Blanca. These are some of my best friends, Jessica and
Chacha.
To celebrate
Yarayda's birthday, we brought the tables downstairs to have a picnic so that Blanca could join us. It was a very enjoyable time.
Happy birthday,
Yarayda! She's enjoying her donated tennis shoes very much.
All the kids at Pat's Place love my Peruvian nephew, Mattias, especially Angie and Nico.
I was able to spend a few days with my family in Ohio while we celebrated my cousin's graduation. Almost all the cousins were together.
Katty played a protective mom in the Mother's Day skit at church to thank the mothers for their tender care.
We all visited Blanca in the hospital to wish her a happy Mother's Day. It was good for them all to see her, as she was dearly missed during her four day stay.
Yarayda was able to see her mom for the first time in eight years. Unfortunately the circumstances were not great, as she was in town for
Yarayda's sister's funeral, but it was a wonderful heartfelt reunion.
Yarayda's mom met her other three grandchildren for the first time, and we were able to send a care package for
Yarayda's oldest son. That's the next family reunion we are praying for.
Angie and
Melani hug goodbye as Melanie leaves Pat's Place with her family after two months. They will continue to play together and visit, as we counsel and pray with Veronica.
