Happy Mother's Day

For mother's day, the school always puts on a music festival where the kids dance. This year was exceptionally good. Each group danced a typical Mexican dance. They all did an amazing job, and even the junior high kids seemed something less than bored, embarrassed and put out to have to dance. The costumes and numbers were all very well done. I guess I was especially impressed, because in years past, the numbers have included dubious outfits, a lot of hip movements, and not my choice for grade school kids to swing to. So, this year was really good.
Victoria did a dance typical of our state, Michoacan, and Sofia did a number from Jalisco. They did great and looked beautiful. Here are some pictures of the grandiose moment! There aren't any of them in action because they were both on the back row most of the time and it was hard to get a good shot of them.

Victoria and Sofia (you can appreciate Sofia's attempt at a hair cut, focusing on her bangs)



Victoria with her classmates (Here you can appreciate the distinct separation of boys and girls prevalent at this age)


Victoria and Sofia with some of Victoria's classmates and their moms. This is the group of women I am closest to at school. God is opening doors into their lives, which is exciting.


Sofia and her English teacher, Miss Mari Carmen. She is so sweet, and really the epitome of a kindergarten teacher. We love her very much!
