Where do I start. There's Anthony (Antonio) who has the cheekiest smile – he's a good kid. Angel, who is obsessed with water – washing his hands, playing with water, splashing on puddles. Alejandra always has to redo her shoe laces, Josue will climb all over you, Carlos just wants your company...like all the time. There's little Teresita, finding her feet and her way amongst all the slightly older children, and of course the babies, Sarita, Alejandra, Giovanni, Joanna and Patti.
There's also Xavier (the only wheelchair bound child in Latacunga) and Gabriel, who has the sweetest look on his face, but can get up to mischief nonetheless.
No day is the same. I can be hauling five babies up the hill (in a cart, of course!) one day, and picking stones from the yard the next (so that the grass can grow). Sounds a bit like a prison sentence or school yard detention doesn't it? The only certainty is that the kids need to eat each day, and after dinner, they usually watch The Lion King (1, 2, or 3). I can't believe there are six sequels to The Lion King now...it's that popular!
