Friday was our last day and we were sad to go. Even though it was hard work we had really settled into a good pattern with the kids and they were now used to the routine too. I couldn't believe it when Jakob said that if we ever come back that we should do 3 weeks!
The other women at our placement, Brooke and Everette will stay 6 and 2 more weeks respectively so we will follow up with them to see how that time went.
Here is a shot of us with Don Victor and Dona Melba on Friday (we stopped by the house Friday evening to say goodbye and we were buried in a sea of kids - it was a great experience):
What you don't see in this picture is that there is about 25 kids standing around us and just getting them off of us to take this picture was a challenge ;-)
Kids names from L to R: don't know first one, I think she was a guest, Casey, Michelle (cooks daughter), William and Natalie (cooks daughter) and laying across is Jasmine. Casey (second from left) was one of my favorites, she has a silver tooth and she was always smiling and when we walked to the park she always had to hold my hand and she loved it when I would carry her.
