Conratulations!Enrique, four years, and Maya, seven years, are brother and sister. They were sent to America by their parents, who were murdered shortly after the children left. Enrique loves being outside and he adores climbing trees and hiking. Maya is a bit of a tomboy and she enjoys sports such as baseball and football. She looks after Enrique quite well, but sometimes he gets on her last nerve and she yells at him. Both of them get along well with other children, and Maya prefers being with boys than with girls.Please tell us how Maya and Enrique are doing!!

Enrique is having a blast on our property. We have nicknamed him Rico as his full name is difficult for the little ones to say. There are plenty of trees for him to climb and Wesley is delighted to have a playmate his own age. May is glad for the break.
Being the eldest, Maya can sometimes get bored with the younger children, but Will has been organizing backyard soccer games to get them all involved together. Neomi likes to play too, although we are worried she might get hurt since she is so little.
Having so many active children is always an adventure. I let Will keep track of them outside while Karis, Daizuke and I cheer from the sidelines.
The good thing is, by bedtime they are all exhausted and it's no trouble at all getting them all to sleep.
Will and I are planning on building a tree fort for them towards summer.Although Rico and Maya have sad, confused moments when they miss their parents, we are doing our best to make them feel at home here.
Rico usually just moves on and goes to play, but Maya, who can be more broody, has taken a real interest in Wills cartoons. He is teaching her how to draw and she has made several pictures to express her feelings.All in all they are settling in well. They have been a blessing and I am thankful for the opportunity to give these young orphans a loving home.
