Last weekend, Dad took Sela on a date to the Chick-Fil-A Father/Daughter Date Night. Sela was so excited to have a special night and to have her PopPop all to herself!
Kids love to have silly pictures taken...
PopPop brought the princess flowers which she cherishes and still has in her room.
Memorial Day Weekend we also had a wonderful dinner at Aunt Teri's house and were able to spend some time with cousin Hollie.
Finally, last night was Sela's ballet recital. She woke up ready to dance! Sela was absolutely beautiful in her costume with makeup and special hairdo. She sang and danced with such pride and happiness. The evening was made even more special because so many family were able to join us! Thanks Nathan, Bubie, PopPop, Aunt Teri, Aunt Sherry, Uncle Saul and Miss Victoria!
Last week, Guatemala had a volcano that erupted and rained ash on Guatemala City and surrounding areas. A few days later, The country was hit hard by Hurricane Agatha. The rains and winds caused wide spread flooding and mud slides. People lost their homes, their belongings and some people lost their lives. This is so devastating to a country where people were already struggling just for the basic necessities of life - food, shelter, jobs, education and money.
Here are a few pictures sent from Mayan Families, the group I have visited worked with and supported for several years:
I remember walking down the streets of Panajachel where these photos were taken and now they are covered with mud, the bridge is out and many houses along the riverbed are now gone. It breaks my heart to see this devastation and consumes my thoughts.
If you are able, they are in desperate need of help. You can send money directly to Mayan Families. Your contributions are tax deductible. Just follow this link:
I am also trying to put together a shipment to send down to Guatemala. They are in desperate need of:
blankets diapers (adult and childrens) children's clothes young men's clothes sweaters, button-up, cardigan style for girls and women underwear, socks shoes (up to size 8 adult)
If you can donate any of these items, please contact me at RLK913@aol.com and I will arrange to get the items from you, or you can send money to help with the shipping costs.
