Ana and Jackson recently had birthdays. Both were ten years old. Turning ten at Casa de Esperanza is a huge milestone. It means you no longer have to take a nap. Both Ana and Jackson have been anticipating this for some time. I think Ana has been more excited than Jackson. Not taking a nap means extra chores after lunch. When school is out, like now, after those chores are done, the kids can read or color. They cannot go outside to play, though. During the school year, they can start on their homework, which has to be completed before playing outside. Ana loves to work. She won't mind the extra chores. We will have to see about Jackson.
Some day, when the kids are my age, they will say, " Oh, to be nine years old again, when we got to take a nap.

I'm with you! Naps are a gift anymore. So glad to see you made the trip safely and I'm sure the kids are excited to have you home again. God bless you, and give them all hugs from me. Suzan
