We all love Braegan so very much. But this is one of my favorite pix of her OF ALL TIME. She is shoving broccoli in her mouth at the speed of light, sitting on a huge bag of coffee, right between the Monch and I. Just good times all around. Our lives at Solid Rock are so very very much brighter with Braegan running around and saying funny things in Spanish/English/Braeganish. :)
To be honest, I'm not even sure what this dear little guy's name really is . We all call him Gordo ("chubby", "fatty"- it's a compliment here, really). Although this photo doesn't show it, he is the jolliest of jollies in the barrio.
We have found some beautiful sites while taking "lunch walks" from our mobile clinics. This is a beautiful river near Cabeza de Toro with a sweet swimming hole.
Seriously! You won't believe it but this guy is a twin! He and his brother were equally squalling, snotting and crying nearly the entire day that we spent with them in Elias Pina at a mobile clinic. They clung to their 6 year old brother very tightly and wailed whenever we even APPROACHED them. But wow- how precious!
I have repeatedly mentioned that the DR has over 30 different kinds of mangos, right? Only 30 billion times. Never gets old. And look how beautiful.
I work with the greatest fellas. And we have great times in the barrios. 3 of these brothers are some of my oldest friends in the DR..... way back from the Pueblo Nuevo days. How cool that we get to connect and work together now! God is so good!
A room with a view. If you want to know more about this place...check out my blog from about a year ago called Casa Abandonado. I still wander through these roofless walls wondering how I can live here one day.
They just don't get any cuter (or rowdier!) than the kids in Bastida. Baby Nicole's brothers are included in this pic! We held a WONDERFUL mobile clinic in Bastida and were able to see my beautiful baby, her family and many others in this place that I love!
