Lets back track to December...

15 hours in the chicago o'hare airport, crappy chinese food and its' consequential stomach ache, and a lost drivers license (yes, I had to go to the dmv AGAIN and take another crazy non-smiling picture of myself) later, we finally made it to Lincoln, NE for Christmas.

This is what we did.



After 5 days in the blinding snow with lots of wonderful crazy indoor quality time, we went swimming with the Visedal ( visedal.org) children in Managua, Nicaragua.

This is our little girl we sponsor, Ana. She is wearing the cutest hooded towel in the whole entire world.






Noel is smiling so big his eyes are closed and we are all so sweaty, but that pretty much summarizes the trip anyways. Thanks, dy-lan, for becoming friends with all those sweet kiddies...they are the bomb.

PS- Dylan gave me the job of giving the older girls a "growing up/ sex talk", which really included me reminding the girls to be careful with their bodies over and over again. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I do not have the spanish vocabulary to go any further than that.
