Our hearts are happy

Hansel just stopped by our house & said he would like to be a part of the Pescadores again. Hallelujah! Literally.

All is well, and just in time. A small group is coming in from Palm Beach, FL to do a mini-camp for our boys. It's going to be fabulous - Tuesday will be full of sports, field games, art projects, and swimming in the river at the Manna camp.

Wednesday is out of this world, too big for words. We're taking the Pescadores to Santiago, the big city 2 hours away. Tyler & Kyrie (from Palm Beach) wanted to share a little bit of America with them, so we're going to Dominoes Pizza for lunch and bowling afterwards. We're also going to visit the monument in Santiago - sort of a Dominican Statue of Liberty. Dominicans LOVE that thing.

Most of our boys have never been outside of our little fishing village, let alone eaten at a restaurant. And the best part is, they have no idea about any of this. They just know Tyler & Kyrie are coming to take them to "camp."

Here's the invitation they received.

So glad to hear of Hansel's return! Actually I was delighted to hear of his attempt to quit. It proves he is developing a conscience, something out of character for the DR. Better than that, conscience happens only when you start really caring about something or someone. And it is the necessary step before building a faith. As for the parenting thing, sounds like you guys are doing great. I will let you raise my grandkids anytime. How about soon. Love, Dad McCloud

I agree w/Tom - grandkids, any time. :-)

As for Hansel's return, it proves you have something going that they want - and need. You have to make sure to keep that going.

Re chosing which of the two deals w/the situation, that depends. Sometimes you just know who is best equipped to deal w/it. Other times you go w/the one that least upset/most rational.

Love,
