visitation part 2

The view on the way to their house.
All taking their turn at going down the slide
Ana and Reina teeter toter with Reina's mom
Katty trying to get her hands on the kitten, but it ran from and hid from her under the bed
She is such an animal lover, we just got rid of some skin stuff she had got supposedly from a dog. This kitten was so skinny and sickly looking, so I am glad she did not get her hands on the kitten.

Friday marked visitation day and as Dorian headed to town with some of them I headed to Sabana Grande with 6 of them for visitation. We were suppose to meet the parents in the town park but they did not show up. So we began to ask around if anyone had seen them. They said they must have gotten their days mixed up because they were there all day yesterday waiting on us. Seeing they have no phone we had no way to communicate with them to tell them we were there waiting on them. Marc is the one who usually takes them to visitation so I did not know where they lived. I called Marc and he began to explain to me where they lived and we began to drive and guess what we found the house. There mom was home and came running out of the house to greet the kids. She was thrilled. The dad was not there because he was out chopping wood but shortly arrived home to be with the kids.
They are a very very poor family but they love their kids. They have been living in this community for about a year now and they were living in a cardboard leaf combination house they said. Just in the past four months they have gotten themselves in a wooden structure. Right now both of them are out of work but looked for everything they had to scrape up and give the kids something to eat.
How blessed we truly are...............
