Favorite Pictures of the Spring!

 Sometimes some of the best ways to show what I've been up to is to post some of my favorite pictures.  Spring means teams and the picture above is a team out of Maryland.

 I have 5 clarinet students that I've tried to keep playing throughout this school year.

 On a field trip day for some of the kids from Rdv, this group of boys and I had an intense game of whiffle ball going!  It was a fun day!

 Easter at Pipera means Transition Graduates coming home.  It is always fun to have the family together!

 Baby Karla's first Easter!

 The Canadian Team also hosted a baby shower for Alex and Ioana.  Another fun event to celebrate our growing family!

Christmas in April?!?!

Each Spring we have a team that comes from Canada.  They are led by Dan and Luella Hewson, who head up our H2H Canada branch.

Each year they come prepared to do a project and this year we decided that their project would be to help with Christmas presents.  We usually give out between 600 to 1000 presents each Christmas and, as you can imagine, this takes a lot of planning and organizing to get accomplished.  Usually we are working about a year ahead of Christmas, because of the logistics.  Up until this point, we have been very low on gifts for this coming year.  I had very little stocked up from the year before and no transports scheduled to come in before this coming Christmas.  So when H2H Canada asked for a project we said "let's go shopping."  Fifteen hundred dollars and 8 carts later we put a major dent in what we needed.  God provided once again!  Thanks H2H Canada for being willing vessels!
