The return to (photo) blogging!

I know, I know. My last update was in October, so why start again now? Well, my site mate Jessica had the great idea of blogging pictures! So I am on an old adventure but will bring you a new perspective. Lets hope I can keep this one up so you at home can get a glimpse into my life here in San Carlos, Nicaragua.
9 more months!

The little girls on my block playing with the Easter goo that Kitty and Maggie sent me!

 A weekend away at Laguna de Apoyo with the girls.

Finishing (starting) my high school summer reading!

A normal sunday afternoon sitting on the stoop.

My site mate Jessica made into a junglegym.

Its a birthday party! (Keyana is the birthday girl, dressed in the black shirt). I was the only person over 10 invited to the party, all other adults there had a child with them...

And they danced...

They also danced at the mothers day work party. Yes, we have off for mothers day in Nicaragua, yes, we also get another half day just for a work party, and yes this work party turned into a dance party. Way too Nicaragaun.

 

Doing the human knot with some community health workers.

On the way to Solentiname

Monkey on my leg!

 We are buddies. He also stole my sunglasses and attempted to wear them.

A puppy and a monkey. They are bff.

Condom Demonstrations

Teaching the women in the Casa Materna about the importance of dark green leafy veggies during pregnancy! Preventing anemia.

An "anonymous" friend donated to the Casa Materna so that we could buy 7 of these awesome banners! They are great becuause they are always up (continuous education) and because they are full of pictures for the women who cannot read!

Sometimes I act like a fool.

Naked baby alert!

Dona Connie, the awesome responable of the Casa Materna!

This is Jose. His mom (not shown) was one of the first women in my Club of Pregnant Women in Bello Amanecer. Hes almost one! With him is his 86 (she thinks) year old great grandmother.
