Day 2 (For lack of a better title):

So I'm finally at the Gabriel House! Back with my kids! And I've already been to the taco stand for dinner, so really, life is pretty good right now! I'm in a constant state of happy exhaustion, but I can't complain considering I can sit down and hold an kid every now and then. The kids are just as I remembered them: wonderful. I told the boys that I'll be living there for 7 weeks (seven weeks) and Antonio (more on him later) spent the rest of the day coming up and holding up 7 fingers with a smile on his face, so I guess could you say I'm not the only one who's excited about this. 

We have a new kid (Oziel, pronounced "oo-see-el"), a little boy about 2 years old with Down syndrome. He's probably the cutest baby I've ever seen. I spend most of my free time sneaking him out of his crib so he can speed-crawl around the courtyard. It's wonderful J

We're here with a wheel-chair specialist named Dana, so he's been teaching some of the boys and I how to fix wheelchairs and adjust them to fit each kid's specific needs. Not a skill I had been expecting to learn, but hey, the more I learn, the better ... right? Right.

Until next time ...
