Merry Christmas

I take off tomorrow on my trip home. I am going to Guatemala for 3 days in Antigua before flying back to VA on Tuesday. Antigua is high in the mountains and will be much colder than here. I stopped at the airport there in July on my way down here and it was much cooler in July than it was in VA. Not a tropical climate at all.
This is a photo of our Christmas tree with Miriam who works in our house.
The boys have one week of supervision when Tulisia comes to visit starting today and will stay with them. Thereafter, they will be alone in the house at night for two weeks. I am going to be returning here on New Years Eve and hopefully things will still be in order. There are always people around during the day so it is only the few hours at night before bedtime that they have to wreck havoc.
I look forward to seeing people at home, church, work and Mo's and plan on relaxing without worrying about things here. If I have a computer in Guatemala maybe I will post an update, but if not this may be it for the year.

Visit with Maynor

I made a quick trip to NPH to visit Maynor before Christmas. I took David with me this time to visit his former roommate at Casa Corazón. Maynor left here four years ago when both were 5. Now both are 9 and still the same size. They had a great time playing together again. It was quite chilly there this time, probably upper 50's, since they are in the mountains. It helped to get me ready for the chill when I get back to VA next week.
