My How They Grow!

We spent the last week at my favorite home (ssshh, I know I am not supposed to have favorites and I really do love all the other homes!) But I have spent a lot of time at this home this summer, as well as last summer....and I have a passion for mommas and their babies. (This is the home for teenage mothers who were sexually abused.) These girls are just wonderful...they have grown-up and taken on the responsibility of caring for another human being..but they still love to laugh and have fun.

Monday we arrived to find that they were having a parade for Peru's Independence Day..so instead of our planned program, we got to enjoy the girls dancing (welcome to Peru..where plans are always tentative..I have learned a great lesson in flexibility this summer!)

There are twin boys at the home..they are A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E...they danced for us, along with little Eduardo..and I almost fell out of my seat laughing. Click below to watch them!


Besides this fun treat, we were so surprised to have another girls' home join us at the parade...not just any girls' home, but the one I spent last summer at! I haven't seen these girls since then! I was so shocked when they came up to me that I hardly recognized them, especially Katherine, below...last summer, she was a depressed, pregnant girl who would barely talk. Today, she is a joyful mama with a sweet baby...she just laughs and is so happy.
