Sweet.....Potatoes!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!! Or here as we call it,

 'Dia de Gracias'.  We are getting all the lunch preparations under way and the Turkey is in the oven, thanks to Leslie.  We will be having sweet potatoes with our turkey today thanks to whoever planted a starter in my garden. I was so excited yesterday, when it was time to harvest, we only planted one plant, but we got about 10 pounds of potatoes out of it. I have a dozen more growing, and they should be ready in about four months.

Thelma's puppies are doing well. They are eating food, and lots of it.  The boys enjoy playing with all of them, and the puppies like to lick and chase the boys around.

Joshua is trying desperately to crawl, but can't seem to get his stomach off of the ground. He ends up sliding across the floor to get into whatever he wants.   

 

 Jacob is enjoying the weather, and playing outside. He enjoys playing in water and mud.  Jacob is just learning to count. We hear him counting to  himself...'1, 2, 5, 9, 14, 3, 10.'  He always ends on ten. It is so funny listening to him. He is enjoying watching the sesame street Christmas eve show, and seems to be completely oblivious to any holiday today, or anytime in the future.

Ryan is continuing to work with his rental property, and with the John Deere planter ready and adjusted for the beans here, we are awaiting one more trip to the city for fertilizer, and hopefully the beans will be in the ground. 

Clinics were consistently busy this week with children who had respiratory infections, were dehydrated, and miserable. 

This little girl cam in sick, but we were shocked by her size. She is three years old, and only weighs about 20 pounds. We added her to our nutrition program, and will continue to monitor her growth and health for the next few years.

We hope everyone has a happy thanksgiving. We wish we could spend it with everyone, but we are thankful for our time here, and looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.
