Sorry to not have updated for the last few days but we left Monday for the hotel with the 15 year old girls and have been so busy ever since. This was the best group of girls. I did not have to say one thing by way of correction or discipline the entire 3 days. We have never had such a good and well-behaved group. Can you imagine taking 21 USA teenagers to a hotel for 3 days and nights?

Sunday was a very exciting graduation of CSS students Vinicio and Oscar. Both were recognized with medals for academic performance. Then on Monday night I left Dottie with the girls in the hotel and attended the graduation of Estefani and Flor de Maria. Flor was recognized as the top academic student in her graduating class. So these graduations are demonstrating the high level of academic excellance for our kids. I am so proud of them.

I just returned from the dentist where they attempted to put in a false tooth. It did not work. They also did a root canal on Olga Marina as she is also being fitted for braces.

This afternoon I will go over each and every report card to determine where the kids are. This was a rough year but I believe that we will land on our feet as we always do.

Debbie emailed e today with the financial report and we did get hit with a $25,000 down slide in offerings since Katrina hit. Amazingly we have [aid all of our bills to date. God is so good and soon I know the coast will recover.
