3 Events

3 big things this weekend:
1) First round of goobyes: School friends' farewell. The kids invited their best friends to go to Kidzania with them. Iris' very best friend, Emma, wasn't able to come bc her parents are in jail. They sued a school. The school's headmaster is married to a judge. They were arrested while they were Christmas shopping last December and the grandma has had to come from Columbia to take care of the 3 children and is afraid to let them out of her sight (with good reason). It makes me feel helpless and teary-eyed every time I think about it.
Anyway, here's the rest of the group. Isa, on the right, lost her first tooth at the celebration. Lucas is on the left.

David picked up the bigger kids from school and met us there. Eugenio, Guillermo, Rodrigo.

The un-tied-shoelaces boy is very sad to leave his friends. I am too. They are such quality boys, so respectful and good.

 

Claire's besties are Dasha and Sofia.

The painters

Saturday night we went to El Estadio Azteca to watch Club America vs Los Tigres. The blasphemy from the stands was almost as entertaining as the acting on the field. It's amazing what soccer players get away with: both the fake injuries and the dirty playing. Sybil experienced beer for the first time. We were splashed after 2 red cards were given to the home team within 5 minutes.

 

3) The Mexico City temple dedication was wonderful
