The Great and the Small

What an amazing, uplifting, exhausting, and often hilarious time!! I am amazed at how the youth can haul bags of concrete and scrape old paint for hours in the hot sun, and then when they're done and they get a break (and I COLLAPSE), they start up a game of tag football or soccer. WHEW! What I wouldn't give for that energy . . . .

Baby Way-Way has been adopted by 17 incredible youth, who are treating her like the princess she's pretty sure she is. She is constantly played with, oohed and aaahed over, fed, rocked, held, run around with . . . . what is she going to think when we go home and she only has boring Mommy and Daddy to hang out with?!

I feel so privileged and excited that she gets to be around these amazing examples of hard work, compassion, dedication, friendship, and FUN!
