Muchas Gracias.

We needed some extra money for a special project we wanted to create here in Ecuador, and so I called for backup. Just like any other time that I need help, I called my mother. Bethers enlisted her troops, the students of East Layton Elementary School {she is the principal}. They raised over $1300 and now we are using some of that money to host a Gala, in which we will raise more money. It looks as if it is going to be an extremely successful event and everyone is really excited.

Anyways, Mum...these pics are for you. All the children in the communities say "Gracias."

The little boy doing the thumbs up is darling. I think it's great what you and Oliver are doing. I think it takes a certain kind of person to do what you are doing. Your mom is pretty awesome too.

So... do you uses a filter on your camera? How do you get the colors to come through so vivid? Please, whats the secret here?

That is so ironic that you saw my blog on the only post I've ever done on ballet! I'm super impressed and jealous that you performed Serenade! that's amazing. Also, I'm very confused about why you live in Ecuador, do you speak spanish?
