new year, new houses

In January, Casa de Amor had two moves!

Casa de Amor II Move Day: a group effort!!

First, Casa de Amor II relocated back to a house we lived in years ago and loved. It's a little further out, but in the direction of most of the staff of the home, and the yard... Oh, the yard!!

The back of the house and the expansive yard...

Dining room - plenty large enough for both of our tables

A mural in the little girls room, left by a missionary family who lived in this house several years ago

S. modeling by the brand new stair railing that makes the house safer (made possible due to Tia Katrina and her church family!!)

...and one more look from the second floor window at the YARD!

(Plans are in the works for chickens and sheep!)

Casa de Amor III also relocated to a more secure neighborhood, ironically the exact same one as where the triplets now live with their mother and "adopted family"!

Elena is working her magic in the kids' rooms!!

She's still working on it, but just a few sneak-peeks...

Living room/dining room

Everyone is getting settled in nicel! Today summer break ends and classes are beginning again.

Even with the moves, all the kids are going back to the same schools where they were last year, with the exception of some of the younger ones in CDA II who are going for the first time, some to schools better equipped for their special needs. We appreciate your prayers for everyone! :)
