Casa Cunco (pt 2) Children

("Part One" of 'Casa Cunco'
post appears below this post.)
~I can not possibly express how beautiful these children are~
At first they just stared at us...no smiles.
But, with the most piercing eyes.
But I learned in Africa that showing kids photos
always works to get them smiling and close.
Could nOt get enough.
We brought them these balls.
Huge hit.
Busted out a game of soccer.
Rodrigo eventually came and sat by me in the
"I've played, and now I'm tired" patch of grass. Wise.
All of their cheeks are so burnt.
It gets so hot, but then they crack when it's cold at night.
These kids will hold my heart forever.

  1. You never look quite so beautiful as you do while in "your element" in these situations. For the record...I want one of each of these hats. And, I will take one child to raise, as well. :) Good luck with the presentation today. You are in our prayers.

  6. Annie as i read your posts I tear up. It reminds me of my kids and family of Portugal. there are no words to describe the love that you feel for them... it gives us a little more of a glimps of our Heavenly Father for us. You will forever want to be with them and they will forever remember your smile.
