I am taking a much needed break from the office this week, but wanted to take a moment to share our Christmas celebration with you. Since I don’t want to spend a lot of time in front of my computer, I will mainly let the pictures do the talking.
On Christmas Day we welcomed eight friends from Hermano Pedro into our home: Fidel, Angel, Juan, Francisco, Lionel, Carlitos, Julio and Delmi. In addition, Dick Rutgers, Pat Duff, Scott and Linda Hardee, Judy Kirshner and Daniel Lopez joined us, along with our unofficially adopted son, Gerardo Hernandez. Our house was full and so was our bellies by the end of the day. It was so nice to spend Christmas surrounded by people we love.
The task of transporting eight residents from Hermano Pedro to our home and back again was not easy, but Dick helped when he arranged to borrow Hope Haven’s van which has a wheelchair lift. Everything went smoothly and we had so much fun together. Christmases have never meant more to our family than they do now.
Thanks for everything you do to make this ministry possible! From our family to yours we wish you a very Happy New Year as you begin 2013!
Daryl, Wanda and the Crew
