February/March 2012
After returning to Honduras at the end of January we were busy to begin February. We needed to get back into the routine. We continually adjusted to the schedule with the kids after arriving back here in Honduras. Trying to balance how to take care of Korbin and the kids at the same time was challenging. So far this has gone really smooth, a lot smoother than I ever imagined. Korbin really seems to do well with the other kids. Even with all of them wanting to love on him and touch him.
The first of February we were busy getting the kids registered for school. Then making sure everyone had uniforms and school supplies. It is always a big task to make sure they all have their school supplies and uniforms complete for school. The kids all seem to be doing well so far with their studies. This year we have 16 kids in school. We have 13 in grade school, two in middle school, and one in kinder. We also have a preschool this year here at Casa. Nicole decided she would take on preschool this year. She has classes for the kids four mornings a week. We have 6 of our own kids in preschool and then Nicole has her daughter Haley in preschool.
Dorian has helped with three different college spring break groups so far. Right now there are no more groups. The end of May and beginning of June will begin nonstop groups that he will be helping and working with throughout the summer.
The beginning of March brought rain. We are in our dry season right now. So to see our first rain was a breath of fresh air. Although bringing on the rain has brought many insects out. Right now we are dealing with crazy beetles.
Korbin continues to thrive. He is doing wonderful. Learning new things everyday. He turned 3 and 4 months old in February and March. The babies Olman and Josue also are thriving and finally doing better. Little by little they are both improving and growing.
A friend of ours Byron opened up a small cafe and offered Brayan a job. He is thrilled to have a job. He only has to work 4 days a week but he likes it so much he usually goes and works 6 to 7 days a week. He is very social and loves to interact with the customers. Byron said Brayan does an excellent job. We told Brayan as long as he has good behavior and as long as he continues to study and do his homework he can keep his job. He is so proud of his job. He has almost all of his money saved up. He is waiting to buy something big. We are so proud of Brayan and excited for this opportunity for him to work and learn lots of new skills.
After lots of contemplation and prayers we decided to purchase a vehicle. Crazy to think I have been here 6 years and not purchased a car. We usually use a Casa car. Although with having Korbin we wanted to have something that was ours and dependable. So we are very excited to finally have our own vehicle.
Thanks again to all of you who lift us in prayer and support us in so many ways!
Blessings~
Dorian, Karen & Korbin Guido
