<br />
Well...I just learned that September is <b><span style="color: #674ea7;">"Platelet Disorder Awareness"</span></b> month...<br />
<br />

as a result...in an effort to share "McKenzie's Recent Journey"...I felt inclined to fire up the 'ol blog again...here goes:<br />
<br />
<div>
-----------------</div>
<div>
Bruises.
What's the big deal? We all have 'em. </div>
<div>
And what energetic (just as clumsy and careless as
the next person) 6 year old doesn't have bruises? It's pretty much a
right of passage, am I right? Well, our soccer playing, acro dancin'
bike riding, tree climbing, always rolling on the ground with her little
sister, McKenzie was no exception...however, in addition to the "I fell
and bumped myself" type of bruises, she also had a significant amount
of "unexplainable and refusing to heal" type of bruises (mostly on her
legs, back and arms). After several weeks, and more random bruises
appearing on top of previous random bruises...add to that a new
development of nose bleeds that would not stop. I finally decided it
was time to pay a visit to the pediatrician. </div>
<div>
Doc ordered up a CBC.</div>
<div>
Drew McKenzie's blood.</div>
<div>
Sent it to the lab.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Within minutes doc returned to our room.</div>
<div>
"Mom",
she said with a serious face, "McKenzie's platelets are significantly
low". "To put it into perspective, it's important for you to know that
the average platelet count is 250-400...and McKenzie is currently at a
6.</div>
<div>
"We still need to cross other "concerns" off the list, but it's likely McKenzie has a condition known as <span class="il">ITP</span>
(Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura). Which is an auto-immune
disease/blood disorder, in which her body attacks her platelets. </div>
<div>
"I just got off the phone with the Hemotology/Oncology clinic
over at Children's Hospital. They have a room available for her and
want to begin inpatient treatment right away." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As you can
imagine...I was overwhelmed. But more than anything, I was SCARED. It was
explained that without a sufficient amount of platelets a person is
subject to internal bleeding. These nose bleeds she has been
experiencing could be indicative (or at least a precurser to) bleeding
in her brain. Big time fear set in.</div>
<div>
A curious McKenzie from across the room chimed in "What does this mean?</div>
<div>
"Well
McKenzie" doc said matter-of-factually. "Here's the deal" "Your body
is low on platelets" "You and your mommy are going to get in your car
and drive to a nearby hospital" A worried look on her face, McKenzie
asks "Why"? "McKenzie this is a fun Children's Hospital, with lots of
really nice doctors and nurses who are going to give you some medicine
to help make you feel better". "Do we have to stay the night?" "Yes,
it will be just like staying at a fun hotel, with games, and movies and
stuff" Will it hurt? McKenzie asked. "Yes, McKenzie, it might" "But
only for a short time. This infusion is important in helping your
body fight off these bad white blood cells, that are attacking your
platelets. Right now your Platelet count is very low, and it's
important that we get that back up to safe levels" "okay" McKenzie
said. </div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">so what's any "self-respecting" mom to do in my shoes, at that moment? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">1) Call Joe (bring him in the loop - Macy was hanging with him at the office during our doc visit)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">2) Call my mom (to cry and ask her to pick Toby up from the groomer - oh and let Macy sleep over!)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">3) Call my sisters (cuz that's what they're for)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">4) Oh and post to Facebook of course. This is the status update that brought my friends/prayer warriors into the loop and made us feel LESS ALONE! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>"<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">Well...Miss
McKenzie is getting treated to an immediate "staycation" at Children's

to an unfavorable CBC, specifically extremely low platelet count (among
other symptoms), she will begin inpatient treatment for what is likely

to cross other concerns off the list. At this moment this is all we
know for sure.<br /> <br /> Please keep our sweet princess in your prayers. Hoping for a comfortable stay, quick recovery and complete healing."</span></i> <br />

An IVIG </span></span></span>is an infusion of antibodies extracted from the
plasma of over one thousand blood donors...which will essentially
overwhelm those "bad" antibodies that are attacking her platelets. <span class="emoticon emoticon_frown" title=":("></span></span></span></span> finally, around 3am...the fourth attempt was a success.<br />
<br />
------------------------ <br />
Long story short...fast forward FIVE months
later...McKenzie's body responded positively to that first IVIG infusion. Since her diagnosis in April,
she has only been restricted from activities for a short time. Her
counts, while still low, have maintained at consistently "safe" levels.
We continue to go in weekly (sometimes bi-weekly) to have her platelet
counts checked. So far so good. She was given the go ahead to resume
all school activities, dance classes and sports. I'm not gonna lie though...girlfriend HATES those frequent visits to the hospital. Some weeks are all out drama-fests. :-/</div>
<div>
We are optimistically hopeful that, after a few more
months of close monitoring, it will be determined that she has an
"ACUTE" version rather than a "CHRONIC" version of <span class="il">ITP</span>
and she will go into "remission." It can take as long as six to eight
months for this to happen. Crossing our fingers, and sending many
prayers up daily! </div>
Something that brought strange "contentment" and
satisfaction to McKenzie's heart and mind, was coming to the realization
that everyone has their "stuff". "Macy has her "thing" and now I have
my "thing." Okay. I suppose that's one way to look at it!<br />
<br />
In the meantime, we do the best we can to make her appointments fun. In some way, I see it as wonderful "mommy/daughter" bonding time. #alwaysasilverlining! :-)<br />

While people with Down Syndrome have more advantages and resources at their disposal to assist them in living successful and full-filling lives (compared to that of yesteryear) - the future's lookin' bright!...they still, however, have much to overcome...along with the intellectual disability that accompanies this extra chromosome also comes various physical challenges. People with DS have low tone, so it is important to work on proper form and technique at an early age. Macy WILL do everything her big sister does. It may take a little bit longer and she may just have to work a <strike>tiny bit </strike> whole lot harder. But that is okay. This makes conquering each new goal ALL THE MORE REWARDING!! No milestone goes uncelebrated :)<br />
<br />
______________<br />
We had our first Special Olympics "Young Athletes Program" of the season last night. 15 Young Athletes and siblings participated!! Great showing :-)<br />
<br />
The PT students did a wonderful job of keeping it organized, structured and keeping our kiddos engaged the entire time. Sure, there were a few "escapees" every now and again, that's going to happen, but everyone did a great job scooping and rounding them up! Bringing the runaways back into the mix. <br />
Macy enjoyed getting together with her friends and is already looking forward to next week!! <br />
A big thanks to the staff at Special Olympics NE (especially Hannah) for supporting this program. Tony and the D.A.D.S. group for getting it started 8 years back, The UNMC PT students (led by Emily & Danielle) for contributing their time and talents to our amazing kiddos, and a HUGE thanks to Elite Cheer for allowing us to utilize this great space year after year. This venue is centrally located and lends itself PERFECTLY to this type of activity. The gymnastics mat is especially forgiving to our little one's knees as they learn new skills & abilities. <br />
<br />
I am excited to be playing a more
significant part in it this year (from the parents perspective). Just
want to keep my finger on the pulse and ensure it continues to thrive! I also want to assist in the area of communication to make sure everyone knows what's going on and always feels welcome!<br />
<br />

The Young Athletes Program not only teaches productive movement and strengthens physical development, it just as importantly facilitates an awesome opportunity for
our children to get together regularly and form a tight-knit bond that will
(hopefully) last forever. These friendships and steadfast camaraderies
are just getting started! It will carry through to when they are able
to compete on a more competitive level in the Special Olympics Program.
This will benefit each of them ON and OFF the field of play. :-)<br />

We
want to, of course, expose Miss Macy to as much as possible. Whether,
she finds her niche to be art, music, dance, drama, etc...I'd
be lying if I didn't admit that I honestly want nothing more than to see
my baby girl "shine" in the area of sports some day! I feel she will
be a "better, more well-rounded" person for it.Harnisch Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06608280604130656640noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475839557246093634.post-16358207462123261432012-10-24T00:17:00.002-05:002012-10-24T00:23:01.115-05:00Back to it... oh & it's DS Awareness month!<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Warning - I feel a long-winded, somewhat incoherent and perhaps
irrelevant ramble coming on here...I've been in a bit of a funk lately,
and I think "getting it off my chest" is what the doctor has ordered!</span></span><br />
--------------<br />
Can't
believe it's been <b>45+ days</b> since my last blog post. eeek!
Perhaps I'm having withdrawals.<br />
<br />
One might be thinking..."good for her"!
Another may assume it's because her priorities have finally been
appropriately aligned. Like maybe those dishes aren't still piling up,
that laundry mountain(s) has been tackled, maybe those rooms (yes ROOMS) filled
with "waiting.to.be.donated" items have been delivered to their desired
destinations...but no. As we speak dishes mount (AGAIN), Mt. Everest is
still waiting to be put away (AGAIN), and those boxes in undisclosed
areas of the house are still (sadly) collecting dust. :-( It's the
crazy-cycle around here! Of which I'm sure ALL can relate. <span style="font-size: x-small;">You're just
lying to yourself if you deny it.</span><br />
<br />
Let's just say (aside from my
motherly/wifely domestic duties) my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SherriHarnischPictureTaker" target="_blank">little photography biz</a> has also
picked up speed. Fall is "primetime" for family pics! I am loving this
new state of "self-inflicted busyness" I have for no good reason, other
than it's fun (?), thrust myself in. oh well. It is what it is. And
I am thankful. <br />
<br />
Can you believe <b>THIS IS MY 500th blog post</b>? I
know. What? How did that happen? Too much time on my hands I guess.
(right!) But seriously, where has the time gone??!?! It seems like
decades ago that I wrote that <a href="http://www.theharnischfamily.blogspot.com/2010/01/hello.html" target="_blank">first post</a>...<br />
<br />
I've been absent from the blogosphere for so long, I almost feel like I need to "re-introduce" myself...<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes,
my focus is SO MUCH about my children, that I feel hidden in their
shadows. I have been spending so much time editing other families
digital memories and am behind the lens so much, that I rarely get
captured in the viewfinder. Which is fine (because I'm not the most
photogenic), but also somewhat hypocritical. There is some buzz going
around the World-Wide-Web about the "disappearance of moms"...you know,
we use our kids faces as our Facebook profile pics, our calendars and
Social Media "check-ins" revolve around our kids' schedules, etc...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As
a person who is insistent and almost obsessed with documenting history
and journaling important events/milestones as they happen, I am somewhat
dissapointed in my efforts of preserving my own sense of self. What
footprints am I leaving behind? who knows. who cares.</div>

During

I officially
became a blogger during the wee morning hours back in January 2010, not long
after our second daughter <a href="http://theharnischfamily.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-28th-2010.html" target="_blank">Macy was born</a>. Our family blog
was initially created (while spending many quiet hours in the Children's
Hospital NICU) as a way of sharing health (and emotional status) updates with family and friends.
You see, we had just learned, that our Little Miss had Down
Syndrome. Our world was rocked to the core. Every thing
we thought we knew was being challenged. Priorities reassessed. Life
goals realigned. It's crazy to think how something as simple
(and microscopic) as an extra chromosome can change everything (but also,
in many ways we
later find, not much at all). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now
blogging serves as a type of therapy, release and creative outlet for me. Getting
my thoughts and feelings down on “paper” allows me to better process all that
is going on. Not to mention a fun way to journal our adventures as we adjust to
this world of Special Needs and simply being a family of four :-) </div>

I'd say the same theory applies to picture taking. I have a passion for snapping photos
of everyday occurrences from creative angles and perspectives, to later being
delighted to discover the beauty & wonder that is (sometimes accidentally) captured. Forever frozen
in time in the form of still frame images.
I guess you could say I’<span class="il">m</span> obsessed with weaving pictures and words to tell
a story, our story. We all have a story,
each one deserves to be shared.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

just for the blink of an eye. And if these picture's have anything to

I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my
picture." ~one hour photo</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
If
my blog posts (which are eclectic & random at best) happen to create a bit
of awareness and understanding and perhaps inspire acceptance for individuals
with Down Syndrome. That's an added bonus! My main goal with each post is to share ideas
(educational otherwise), resources, triumphs, challenges, struggles and successes. But most importantly, my objective is to simply connect
with families, friends, evens strangers, who walk down a similar life journey. Through blogging, I have learned that this
world is much smaller than originally suspected. We are NOT alone. <br />
If I am just one "happy" post away from saving just one precious (and
life-deserving) soul from being terminated in the womb, due to it's "genetic
make-up", than so-be-it. It just might be worth it after-all!<br /><br />
A little more about me? I married my college sweetheart on September, 21,
2002. Joe and I are the proud parents of two beautiful baby girls. <br />
Both my girls are perfect...<br />
McKenzie (5) is special beyond measure, as she's the one who taught me
how to love & gave me a "momma's heart"...Little Miss Macy (almost 3)
is the one who broke this "momma's heart", shattered it into a million
pieces and repaired it 100x BETTER than it was before!<br />
Macy
happens to have Down Syndrome. But Down Syndrome does not define her or
our
family. She is amazing. We are so thankful to be on this journey we
call life with her. Afterall, it's the journey, not the destination. <br />
<br />
We live in Elkhorn and things we love most (in no particular
order) are spending quality time at home, heading out to the lake for the weekend, <s>cleaning,</s>
sitting on our front porch, watching McKenzie & Macy's imaginations at
work, annual trips to Estes Park, "mommy & daddy" date nights,
Husker Football, CWS, good food, mission work, photography, VOLUNTEERING, family, friends and
therapy. Yes, therapy. Macy has a wonderful team of OT’s PT’s,
Speech Pathologists and special Education teachers who help her push toward
conquering new milestones. EVERY skill
& ability is celebrated at the Harnisch House. NOTHING
goes unnoticed, nothing gets taken for granted. Advocating on behalf
of my daughter and all people with special needs does not consume my
life, but most certainly is
an honor and high priority.<br />
<br />
okay - so there's my little "bio"<br />
-------------<br />
<br />
I
feel it's appropriate that this post (incoherent ramble) comes out as
we near the completion of Down Syndrome Awareness Month. It is during
this month of October that I'm supposed to be focusing my posts on Down
Syndrome <a href="http://theharnischfamily.blogspot.com/2012/03/my-big-ole-down-syndrome-awareness-day.html" target="_blank">(here's last years post)</a>, helping to generate awareness and acceptance for all those who
posses this extra (some call magic) chromosome. Helping to facilitate a
sounding board for all issues, challenges, successes and resources
relevant to the interest of Down Syndrome. <br />
<br />
So, I guess...in some strange way,
that is why I'm glad this post does not JUST focus on Down Syndrome.
That would be an injustice. And we shouldn't give this chromosomal
abnormality that much credit.<br />
After-all, Down Syndrome Awareness
happens every waking moment of our entire existence. It is in
celebrating the SIMPLE things in life that acceptance happens each and
every day. Not just during the month of October. <br />
In fact, it is
when we acknowledge the craziness and normalcy all intertwined together
into one very complicated existence when "awareness" is truly spread.
Awareness that...IT'S ALL GOOD! Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da (Life Goes On)<br />
<br />
I
hope it illustrates the fact that our stresses and anxieties are
stemmed by the very same annoyances that plague everyone else down the
street, around the corner and across the country. <span style="font-size: x-small;"> (I
will say, however, that all this extra assessing, evaluating &
testing by Macy's TEAM as of late (cuz she's almost 3) does have me a
little anxious (and quite honestly, inconvenienced). oh & just had
big sister's first Kindergarten P&T conference today, turns out, our
"typically developing" kiddo has some things that don't come quite so
easy to her either, go figure, looks like we have things to work on with
her too - HA!) </span><br />
But, all in all, my mind is not consumed
with <a href="http://theharnischfamily.blogspot.com/2011/10/22-months-agowe-were-worriedhow-wrong.html" target="_blank">worry</a>, fear or anxiety as it relates to the unknowns of our girls
future, etc...nope, I AM totally stressing, rather, over the fact that
those dishes are NOT washing themselves, wondering why the heck (in this
21st century) they have NOT invented machines that wash/dry/fold &
put away our d@mn laundry FOR US. I mean seriously, is that asking too
much! And for the love of God, why hasen't that SAINT of a DELIVERY
TRUCK arrived in my driveway with 4 strong men knocking down my door to
take MY OLD CRAP AWAY!!! <br />
<br />
---------------<br />
So there. That's
it. I just HAD to get that off my chest. I feel amazingly better!
Thanks for listening (reading) - your genuine interest in my mental
state has saved us a boat-load in therapy bills. ha!<br />
<br />
Now, in
these next few weeks...I have a lot of blogging to catch up on and will
(in the future) make an effort to get our family happenings (big &
small) posted in a more timely fashion. less words, more pics!<br />
<br />
This
fast approach of cold/non-photo-friendly weather, coupled with the
arrival of Daylight Savings is sure to assist me in achieving this
goal. :-)<br />

am seriously still in tears thinking about how wonderful Macy did that
morning. Honestly, I had lowered my expectations (as to not be dissapointed)...and thought "if Macy
would even last just 10 minutes before having to be pulled out, I'd
chalk it up as a success". But Miss Kathy kept her attention and
on-task the ENTIRE TIME!! HUGE kuddos to her :-)</span></span></span><br />

These last couple years, Macy has proudly supported and sat on the sidelines for big sis. A full year of Gymnastics and another of Ballet & Tap. Last year, while waiting patiently in the lobby, Macy was REGULARLY pulled into an adjacent studio and "coached" by little girls who were between classes.</div>

So, yes. Macy LOVES dancing (or maybe it's just the watching herself in the mirror part -whatever). She loves mimmicking the actions of others - you know the tune..."anything you can do, I can do better".<br />
<br />
But, do we think she's actually ready for a full-fledged class?? Not really.<br />
I received a note from Miss Kathy explaining that the 3 year old ballet class is small and even has another 2 year old in it...so if we were still interested...Macy would be welcome to join in.<br />
I was TICKLED!!<br />
<br />
We have devised a plan and so long as I am on-site during her classes, to help with potty-training and to be available to pull her out & allow her a "break" if needed. Sometimes, kids just aren't "feeling it" and are entitled to "off-days" as well. This would apply to any two-year old really. :-)<br />
I don't want to put too much pressure on her teacher and have her
diverting too much attention towards Macy...so we have a simple
"exit-strategy" in place! <br />
My biggest thing is that I do not want her to be a distraction or take away from the other girls' experiences.<br />

Coincidentally, McKenzie has a tumbling class in the next studio over, so we would have
been there already anyway. It's awesome how things just work out sometimes :-) <br />
<br />
So give it a try we did! And Macy impressed the SOCKS OFF ME! :-)<br />

To most this may have looked like your every day, run-of-the-mill, ballet class...<br />
and it was...<br />
but to this momma...<br />
it was so much more than just dancing.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, even I myself, overlook and forget the challenges she is up against. People with Down Syndrome have physical and intellectual disabilities. So, if you would have told me after she was born that she would/could be participating (and succeeding) in a "typical" ballet class. I'm not sure I would have believed you.<br />
<br />
<b>I can't help but be impressed (and get emotional) when watching this video. For three reasons:</b><br />
<br />
<b>1) She is demonstrating the intellectual and cognitive desire to focus and follow the directions of her teacher for the entire 45 minutes! <span style="font-size: x-small;"> (Miss Kathy's fierce eye contact & constant stimulation helps keep Macy in line)</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></b><br />
<b>2) She had the physical stamina to stick with it for that long as well.</b><br />
<br />
<b>3) Macy, like most children with DS, was a late walker (due to low tone)...those PLIES would be hard for any toddler to do, let alone a toddler with low muscle tone. (it's no wonder she had to stop for a few "breaks"). Also, kiddos with Down Syndrome often walk with "wide gates"...Macy is no exception, so the fact that she can put those toes together, point them and hold them like that for any amount of time, is awesome to me! She has a few balance checks while in this position, but as you could see in the video, she was trying SOO hard!! </b><br />
<br />
I am so proud of my baby girl! And thankful for her kind, patient and engaging instructor!

Makes you wonder what's up? LifeNet? Police Copter? <br />
Not in this case...<br />
Luckily this time it was just some Helicopter company offering up rides in the sky...for fun...for a minimal fee of course. <br />
McKenzie was pretty stoked. Of course, she kept bugging & bugging us to take her on it. She and her & daddy visited a couple times and talked with the pilot dude about the details.<br />
Last Sunday, she finally had her chance. She was thrilled!!<br />

It's pretty awesome seeing Western Douglas County from this bird's eye perspective. I grew up here, and have seen all of these sights...but never from this vantage point! At least from this vantage point so low to the ground. :)<br />
You could really get a first-hand glimpse of the effects of this drought we are in. The ground is so dry & SO BROWN! Pretty sad really.<br />

<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="color: purple;"><span><strong></strong></span>Our
little Down Syndrome Diva continues to amaze, impress and inspire us
each and every day! Macy is two, but we have yet to see any signs of
that "terrible" stuff that's supposed to accompany this magic age! She
is a constant ray of sunshine and nothing short of AWESOME and
FUN-LOVING! Quite the social butterfly, she literally lights up any
room she walks into with her huge smile and friendly face. Wherever we
go, she enters like she owns the place, walks with a confident swagger,
makes intense eye-contact, waves, high-fives and blows kisses (usually
in that order) to whomever happens to be in her path, like it's her
JOB! Quite the little greeter we have on her hands. </span><span style="color: purple;">I think her outgoing personality is actually starting to rub off on her shy big sis. :-)</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="color: purple;">Aside
from being a shining example of inclusiveness & acceptance, Macy
has taught us and everyone around her so much about life, love,
compassion and faith. It is hard to believe how this one tiny extra
chromosome can make such a dramatic impact on our hearts! I am just
thrilled that we get to have a front row seats to the BEST SHOW ON
EARTH...<strong>MACY!</strong></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="color: purple;">Not
only are we, her parents, blessed to have been chosen to care for and
love this little angel...but God has placed her in all of your lives as
well. As you know, IT TAKES A VILLAGE! She has an amazing support
system of family and friends in all of you, for that she is truly
blessed!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="color: purple;">I'm
super bummed that our family will not be able to actually participate
in this years' event as we will be out of town for our annual "Lee"
Family Reunion. :( Big bummer! Macy has had such a great show of
support the last few years, averaging about 100 teammates. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">It was quite simple really.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">1) We took some Harvest Peach Yogurt out of the fridge.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">2) Scooped into a plastic bag.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">3) Squeezed small drops onto a cookie tray <span style="font-size: x-small;">(this was McKenzie FAVORITE PART! - and the messiest of course - which would explain the absense of photos. Had to be more hands on during that portion.) The first few squirts were a major disaster, but it did not take long for her to get the hang of it. She discovered the hard way, that you do NOT have to squeeze very hard. hehe</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">4) We decided to make it a bit more fun by adding colored sprinkles on top too :-)</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">5) Lastly, we placed them in the freezer. They were ready to eat within the hour!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>6) Both girls (and Danielle & Heather who stopped over) LOVED them. We'll be making them again VERY soon!</b></span><br />

McKenzie loves yogurt...would eat it all day long if we'd let her. Little sis does too. The problem for her though, is that it gets MESSY! The sticky spoon ALWAYS, ends up in her blonde locks.<br />
NEVER FAILS!<br />
<br />
This trick provides a nice "clean" solution to an otherwise sticky situation.<br />
<br />
LOVE IT!! :-)<br />
<br />
Oh & she thinks they're cookies...hehe...gotch-ya. <br />

<span style="font-size: small;">I found this idea on Pinterest!! <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Thanks Robin)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">(A site I actually I try to avoid and make it a point to visit just once every couple months - Pinterest is amazing, don't get me wrong...but it's overwhelming and gives me anxiety - it is over-stimulating and quite possible TOO INSPIRING (yes, that's possible)! Pinterest adds non-essential projects to my always growing and seemingly never caught up to-do list and stresses me out. ugggh) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">But every once in a while, on a rainy day like today, I venture over to the site and allow myself to be inspired.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It only took a few minutes before I found this super fun & simple idea...I yelled to Kenzie over in the toy room and we started making it on the spot. :-) </span>Harnisch Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06608280604130656640noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475839557246093634.post-34553382857057989372012-08-18T11:57:00.002-05:002012-08-18T12:25:57.149-05:00Rainy Day Fort building!<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Kid forts were invented to restore mommy sanity! :-) </b></span><br />
Every mom should pull this out of their arsenal when their kiddos start getting bored with the "same-old-same-old".<br />
<br />
------<br />
The day started out perfectly. The house was clean. The House was quiet (well, cuz the girls were still snug in their beds & Joe was helping Leonard). The sound of MUCH NEEDED rain falling outside the window. And I was blogging. Happily blogging.<br />
When all of a sudden, the clock struck 7:18am, and the first girl walked LOUDLY down the stairs...asking for what else? Food!<br />
The troops have risen. My quiet, peaceful blogging time is OVER. Oh and that part about the house being clean? Might as well kiss that visual goodbye too!<br />
<br />
Within minutes we had fort city constructed in the toy room. The existence of the fort mess actually allowed me to blog (THIS BLOG) for a little bit. Not bad. GENUIS! It's a worthy trade off...I'll take it!<br />
Peaceful-contentment now...clean-craziness later.<br />
<br />
Two quotes just popped into my head: <b><br /></b><br />
<br />
<div style="color: #e06666;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"A clean house is the sign of a wasted life"</b> </span></div>
<br />
<b>“<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">Good moms have sticky floors, messy kitchens, laundry piles, dirty ovens, and happy kids.” </span></b><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;"> </span>Hey, we can't excel in every area in life...looks like today I am going to shine in the "happy kids" arena. Tomorrow <span style="font-size: x-small;">(there's always tomorrow)</span>, I will try to conquer in the area of time management & organization :-) <br />
<br />

I've been so behind on the blog and playing catch up with older posts lately, that it feels good to write a live, current one. So live in fact that this activity is going on at the very moment that my hands are typing this post onto my iPhone. hehe<br />
So here's a blog from RIGHT NOW! <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">okay...my time is limited...so I better get to typing FASTER!</span><br />

And to think! When Miss Macy was born <a href="http://theharnischfamily.blogspot.com/2011/10/22-months-agowe-were-worriedhow-wrong.html" target="_blank">we were worried</a>. Worried that she and her big sis wouldn't bond the way sisters are supposed. Wouldn't be the same kind of "friends" I was with my own big sisters.<br />
Oh how wrong were we!?! And, sometimes, it feels <a href="http://theharnischfamily.blogspot.com/2011/10/22-months-agowe-were-worriedhow-wrong.html" target="_blank">GOOD to be WRONG</a> :-)<br />

While running in them is fun...volunteering for them is perhaps even funner<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (I know, I know "MORE FUN" is proper grammar....but "funner" just sounded well, funner. sorry Mrs. Hammond)</span><br />
<br />
So, I was excited when the opportunity to be a member of the Color Me Rad! "Color Bomb Squad" presented itself. Proceeds of the Color Me Rad! race went towards <a href="http://www.sone.org/">Special Olympics Nebraska</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Any local organization that has a mission similar to, or along these lines: </b><b style="color: #674ea7;"> </b><br />
<br />
<b style="color: #674ea7;">"changes
lives through the power of sport by encouraging and empowering
people with intellectual disabilities, promoting acceptance for all, and
fostering communities of understanding and respect across the state".
<span style="color: black;"> or this</span> "provides people with intellectual disabilities continuing
opportunities
to realize their potential, develop physical fitness, demonstrate
courage, and experience joy and friendship."</b> <br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b> Is most certainly going to be at the top of my "favorites" list!</b><br />
<br />
hmmm....plaster people with paint as they run by, all the while supporting an awesome organization?! umm...WIN WIN! Sign me up!! :-)<br />

Turns out that lugging a 25+ lb tank around on my back for hours was actually a pretty tough gig...I think just running the race would have been the easier option. But it was totally worth it!<br />

I'd say it was a fun time had by all.<br />
<br />
A special thanks to <a href="http://www.sone.org/">Special Olympics NE</a> for this opportunity. Big props to this non-profit for thinking outside the box and finding creative ways for people of all ages and interests to get involved and help out.<br />
<br />
One of these days, very soon, I do want to become more DIRECTLY involved with this awesome organization...but for now, I am just glad that there are at least several "creative" and "non-committed" ways for me to help out, give back and contribute. :-)<br />
-------<br />
<br />
And then...when I received an email that said<b> "Did you know when you volunteer at The Cox Classic on behalf of Special
Olympics, Cox Classic will make a generous donation back to Special
Olympics? It’s a HOLE IN ONE!"</b><br />
umm...again. Where do I sign up!?!<br />

So...even though the days were long, exhausting and hot hot HOT <span style="font-size: x-small;">(seriously, I was drenched with sweat at the end of each session - the dripping down your back kind)</span>! Walking 18 holes takes forever when having to carry that huge scoring sign...Volunteering as a STANDARD BEARER at the Golf Tournament was really fun and provided a unique, up close and personal view of the game. <br />

I have been to the tournament tons of times, as a spectator
and working in the Sky Box and suites (entertaining clients back when I was an
employee of Cox Media)...but seeing the action from this perspective
broadened my knowledge of golf and allowed me to get to know the

Being a standard bearer provided me with an awesome "PHOTOGRAPHIC" vantage point...would have loved to have snapped
some pics of my own...but apparently that would have been frowned upon.

------------------<br />
(I've said it before...in a previous post...but wanted to "say it again")...<br />
<br />
I would be lying if I didn't say that I'd be a little disappointment if Macy did not choose to play sports when she gets older...Yes, we are
going to encourage her to try everything and allow her the opportunity
to decide what her strengths are and determine where her passions lie.
Whether she's an artist, a musician, dancer, an athlete, a scholar,
whatever she chooses, we'll support her and CHEER HER ON.<br />
But, I LOVED sports - sports were a HUGE part of my upbringing. I lived
and breathed sports as a young girl (ehem, TOM -BOY) growing up. And I
genuinely believe that participating in organized athletic programs,
especially Special Olympics, builds character, molds a well rounded,
healthy, physically fit, disciplined and respectful individual. The
simple act of being included on a team encourages confidence and
empowers people to be the BEST they can be! Can help build up
self-esteem and motivate children to excel academically as well as
improve social skills. <br />
The list goes on and on really. But, I think you get the picture, so I'll stop there.<br />
<br />
And let me add, that on the very night <a href="http://theharnischfamily.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-28th-2010.html">Macy was born</a>.
Several hours after learning of Macy's Down Syndrome Diagnosis...It was
cold, dark, quiet, all our guests were gone. Joe and I trembled. We
were broken. We were sad, but mostly confused and worried. But I must
say that one thing that brought a glimmer of hope and anticipation and
perhaps provided me a sense of familiarity (of a world I knew NOTHING
about), something I could grasp, understand and actually relate to was
Special Olympics. I was not 100% certain just yet what this extra
chromosome meant for our sweet new angel, but I did wonder (didn't say
it out loud, but did think) right then and there..."does this mean that
some day she could be a Special Olympian?" "WOW". The idea intrigued
me. It did bring a smile to my face, a happy tear to me eye and even
for that split second a sense of excited anticipation of what was to
come for our sweet girl. Everything else, (the science behind it all,
the possible medical issues, physical and intellectual disability part)
was foreign to me.<br />
But this?<br />
This Special Olympics stuff.<br />
I got this. :-)<br />

<span style="color: #303030; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">"Newly revised and
updated, this compassionate and authoritative guide is based on Libby
Kumin’s more than thirty years experience working with children and
adolescents with Down syndrome and their families. Dr. Kumin draws on
her vast experience to show parents how they can support and encourage
their child’s speech and language development from birth to age 6 (or
when a child can form 2- to 3- word sentences). Parents and teachers
learn how to work through characteristic challenges, including hearing
loss, intelligibility issues, apraxia (difficulty planning oral-motor
movements), or a slower pace of development. Families soon see that
many children with Down syndrome are natural and willing communicators.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #303030; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">
In a warm and conversational style, the author shares her professional
expertise in parent-friendly terms. She uses specific examples of
difficulties and successes to illustrate the concepts behind speech and
language development, and includes the latest research supporting
current early intervention and preschool approaches that can be used at
home and in schools.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #303030; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">
This third edition of <b>Early Communication Skills</b> features
expanded information on the needs of children with apraxia, dual
diagnosis of autism and Down syndrome, and updated terminology and
information on special education law. An expanded chapter explains how
technology and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) can help
with speech and language, foster communication, and provide inexpensive
transitional language systems. Over thirty forms are now included on a
CD-ROM to be used for assessment, developing treatment plans, and
keeping detailed records of progress. Teachers, speech-language
pathologists, and parents will love the convenience of printing multiple
copies of forms and organizing information for IEP meetings or periodic
evaluations."

My dad likes to shoot lots of video of all his grandkids doing...well...nothing. Which I think it AWESOME! Here are a few "grandpa-cam" clips from this summer. Of Macy enjoying an early summer morning. She usually wakes up WELL before everyone else & drags G&G Lee outside for some quite-time fun. Very peaceful that time of day she tells me. hehe <br />

I'm a tad-bit behind. :-)<br />
<br />
Aside from a few sickness setbacks, it has been an AWESOME and fun-filled summer.<br />
Despite the unplanned doctor's office and ER visits due to RSV, Viral Infections, Croup, oh and the occasional bouts of labored breathing, running noses, water eyes, fevers and coughs, etc...we still managed to squeeze in lots of fun!<br />
<br />
Ain't nothin' gonna hold these girls down!<br />
<br />
Outdoor activities were held to a minimum this summer as a result of the HOT HOT temps. We tried to find creative indoor stuff to do.<br />
We did have fun touring local city playgrounds and splashparks (usually short morning outings)...a handful of playdates and summer story-times at local libraries...I don't have many pictures of all our random outings, as I left my camera home most of the time...I new chasing Macy around would keep me busy enough. :-/<br />
I even left the camera home when we went to the zoo and children's museum. It was HARD for me not to have it...but it also felt good (almost freeing) to just relax and truly ENJOY the moments with my little's. But now...as I sit here, weeks later, blogging and trying to recall those moments, I am somewhat sad. Lost. I feel like I have nothing to show for those day. :-( hmmpfh. <br />

Thanks Casie, for taking (and letting me steal) these pics :-)<br />
<br />
btw - check out the blog post she made yesterday...of Saturday's DS Mom's Coffee. It was awesome!! We learned more about a local organization called <a href="http://www.angelguardians.org/">Angel Guardians</a>. And she tells all about it <a href="http://theschlueters.blogspot.com/2012/08/one-of-best-moms-coffee-meetings.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
oh my goodness...I just located a few more pics that casie took at an earlier "pajamarama" at Barnes & Nobles. They were reading if you give a Mouse a Cookie. Which was PERFECT! Because the kiddos were reading and learning ALL about this that whole month at Little Leaf Learning Center. Kim made it part of their curriculum. <br />

He invited us, along with lots of his friends to his really fun Birthday Party at My Gym. The girls LOVED IT!!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">His party was on the same day as <a href="http://theharnischfamily.blogspot.com/2012/05/macys-first-race-special-olympics-ne.html">Macy's first Special Olympics Race</a>. Oh & the same day as her run in with the swing which resulted in her first (and hopefully last) experience with stitches. Read about it <a href="http://theharnischfamily.blogspot.com/2012/06/stitches.html">here</a> & <a href="http://theharnischfamily.blogspot.com/2012/06/stitchesthe-morning-after.html">here</a>.</span><br />
<br />
But, back to Mason's party!!<br />

In an effort to "Discover all that Omaha has to offer"...our summer started off with the best of intentions. Me & my girls were gonna "see it ALL"...the free (or close to free at least) outdoorsy stuff. I had a list of several local attractions. That is, however, before the 40 day streak of 100+ degree temps & drought kicked in. Seriously, our state (along with all the others) are currently suffering through the <a href="http://www.omaha.com/article/20120720/NEWS/707209919/1697">longest & most widespread drought in our nation's history</a>. <br />
Awesome. :-(<br />
<br />
Needless to say, if an "outdoor" play-date offer made by even the closest of friends' does not have a spray-park, sprinkler, pool, slip-n-slide, lake, or anything water related associated with it, we have been POLITELY declining. Don't take it personal...but no thanks!<br />
<br />
We have had a few outings...and I will make an attempt to play blog catch-up, by first, sharing photos from our trip downtown several weeks ago...the camera came out when we arrived to the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge.<br />
This bridge, erected in 2008, the longest pedestrian bridge to connect two states, is a spectacular site, offering gorgeous scenic views of the majestic Missouri River as well as our awesome little city. From this vantage point, Omaha actually has a skyline! I know, I know...it's Omaha...small in comparison to all other major skyline's...certainly nothing to brag about...But I love our town! Omaha is beautiful. And I am proud of how far our city has come. :-)<br />
I was in Chicago last week...was recently reminded just HOW TINY our town is...which is perhaps, why I appreciate it all the more. <br />

-----<br />
Okay, so, everything was going asanticipated.<br />
Our lovely stroll on the bridge had, so far, up to this point, been without incident and uneventful. <br />
<br />
That is before we caught up to a group of individuals who also set out to enjoy an afternoon on the bridge. We, my dad and I, were intrigued by this group (of about 12+), so we (without any words) intentionally followed closely. Making quiet observations. It brought happiness to my heart to see them here. These adults who happened to have disabilities, some more significant than others.<br />
<br />
A few of whom <a href="http://theharnischfamily.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-28th-2010.html">also happened</a> to have Down Syndrome.<br />
<br />
<i>T</i><i>o be honest, sometimes, <span style="font-size: x-small;">(and by sometimes I mean like 3% pf the time) </span>when I peer outside the comforts of our safe "Little.Miss.I'm.JUST.2.Macy" box. And truly take time to think about and visualize the future and what that might look and feel like for her. <a href="http://theharnischfamily.blogspot.com/2011/10/22-months-agowe-were-worriedhow-wrong.html">I get Worried.</a> A little sad. The "fear" of the unknown is a difficult reality to swallow. But it is what it is. And we have NO control over how things will be 30 years from now. Or do we? That's the million dollar question right there. But, luckily, most of the time, when thinking of the future, I am mostly filled with hope, dreams and endless possibilities for my daughter and ALL HER FRIENDS! There is an overwhleming amount of organizations, resources, programs and networks of compassionate people. If you just open your eyes and choose to SEE, ACCEPT & EMBRACE it. </i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">We have, already in this short time, had the PLEASURE of knowing and benefiting from a handful of local organizations...the <a href="http://www.dsamidlands.org/">DSA</a>...<a href="http://www.sone.org/">Special Olympics NE</a>...<a href="http://www.unmc.edu/mmi/videotestimonialmmi.htm">UNMC's Munroe Meyer Institute</a>...<a href="http://www.angelguardians.org/">Angel Guardians</a>...our respective local school districts...As well as <a href="http://bethanyelkhorn.org/">our church community</a>...just to name a few! </span></i><br />
<br />
So with that...I choose to "not let those fears of tomorrow rob me from these JOYS of today". <br />
<br />
back to the pedestrian bridge...<br />
<br />
We learned they were here as part of a "workshop" put on by <a href="http://www.mosaicinfo.org/omaha/">Mosaic</a>. <a href="http://www.mosaicinfo.org/omaha/">(please check out their website)</a><br />
Mosaic is a faith-based organization that "believes every individual is a person of worth." "Embracing God's call to serve in the
world, Mosaic advocates for people with intellectual disabilities and
provides opportunities for them to enjoy a full life." <br />
<br />
They were certainly living out their mission this day, by simply BEING here.<br />
<br />
<span class="hasCaption">My dad had no idea, that in just moments,
he'd be playing "good Samaritan" hero to a gentleman who
began having a severe asthma attack. Smack dab in the MIDDLE of this 3,000 foot long bridge. He had forgotten his
inhaler at home. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="hasCaption">It was, for me at least, a surreal and scary site. Watching helplessly as this man laid on the ground, almost unresponsive and struggling to breathe. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="hasCaption">My dad's <a href="http://theharnischfamily.blogspot.com/2011/04/fire-department-pancake-feed.html">EMT instincts,</a> on the other hand, immediately kicked in. He dropped to the ground and was instrumental in keeping him calm and comfortable. Assisting him until the Council Bluffs
paramedics arrived.</span> All the while, the girls and I stayed out of the way and took a short walk as to not "add to the scene".<br />
<br />
I am, and always have been, proud of this man I have had the good fortune to call DAD!<br />

I've got some catching up to do.<br />
<br />
Seems the more you have to blog about, the less TIME you have to blog about it. figures.<br />
----<br />
Once arriving home from Bolivia, it didn't take long to JUMP back into the crazy routine we call "life". We spent the 4th of July Holiday week/weekend out at the lake. It was nice being there with family and all...of course...but my heart & mind mostly were unsettled. What I wanted most was to<br />
be home, in front of my computer DECOMPRESSING. <br />
As you know, the way I decompress and process things, is by writing and reliving experiences (at least one more time) through photographs. Lord knows, I had PLENTY of Mission trip photos to sort through and try to make sense of.<br />
That's my therapy. My release. My way of "finishing out" and "putting the trip behind me" in a sense. I guess I needed closure. Not closure so much...because I know I will carry these experiences with me always...so I guess the better word might be "COMPREHENSION"!<br />
<br />
I was able to do that after having (I mean getting - hehe) to spend a few days out at the lake...<br />
<br />
-------<br />
I still think about and pray for those children daily. Their smiles, generous hearts and gentle souls weigh heavily on my consience.<br />
<br />
-------<br />
Coming home and adjusting back into the day-to-day Regimen has been rough. Getting acclimated to our Civilized, first-world country luxuries has been a tough pill to swallow. A little bit of guilt exists.<br />
But to be honest.<br />
<br />
This is hard.<br />
<br />
I can only think of one word. This word seems harsh and unfair. But the word I think I am still battling with most is "resentment". Don't get me wrong...99.9% of the time I LOVE my girls and am SOOO excited to be back home with them (of course).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
But, a teeny amount of resentment is present. :-(<br />
<br />
<b><i>definition of Resentment - <span class="ssens">"deep-seated resentment, frustration, and hostility accompanied by a sense of being powerless to express these feelings directly" </span></i></b> <br />
<br />
Resentment towards my girls...specifically our five year old McKenzie.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She is such a good kid. A sweet kid. A smart kid. A lucky kid. LUCKY being the key word here. She has NO IDEA JUST HOW LUCKY SHE IS!! How good she has it. She has not seen what I have seen, she has not been where I have been. So, I know it's not fair that I would expect her to understand...But seriously, she has NO IDEA just how FORTUNATE she really is. We are most certainly not "wealthy" people by any stretch of the imagination, but I do know, that relative to the World's population (most of which is poverty stricken) we are settled somewhere in the single digits % on the Household income scale.<br />
With that being said, why on EARTH does McKenzie whine so much. Why does she still feel so entitled. Each time she opens her mouth to beg for another snack...or more juice...or another toy...it just sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. Makes me cringe. <br />
<br />
I just want to shake her (of course I don't) and set her straight. <br />
<br />
<br />
These children in La Paz, who I had the pleasure of being with, had nothing, came from nothing and have low hopes for a nutritious meal, let alone a successful future. How many times did we hear them complain or whine? NOT ONCE!<br />
It was amazing, for example, when we would offer them food, how kind, polite and gracious they were. How, when we visited Hector at his family home, and gave him an orange...he did not beg for it, he waited patiently for it to be handed to him. And rather than peel & eat, keeping it all for himself...he peeled and distributed sections of it to his siblings. Amazing. Simply amazing. Heartbreaking at the same time.<br />
<br />
So, why can't my child be just a tad bit more appreciative for what she has?<br />
ugggh.<br />
<br />
Okay, so this frustration (resentment, if you will) has to end here. It's not healthy. I need to understand and meet her where she is at. She is fortunate to grow up here. She has the luxury of NOT knowing the difference. Not knowing what it's like to go to bed hungry. Go to bed scared. Go to bed on a dirt floor. Go to bed with only a tattered & torn hand-me-down stuffed animal. Go to bed not knowing what the next day is going to bring. Go to bed unsure if you will even be safe sleeping in your own "house".<br />
<br />
So, with that being said, I need to be more understanding of her & accepting of "where she is at." But, at the same time I need to work hard <b>NOW</b>. I need to focus my energy on reinforcing and instilling an appropriate and gracious demeaner upon her. I need to be better and more consistent about not responding and giving in to her "whiny-ways". That's the easy way out. After-all, it's my fault she is the way she is (well mine & the rest of society and her generation - I can't take ALL the blame).<br />
<br />
I simply want her to praise and thank god each day for all that she has. Not ask and be sad for what she doesn't have...rather grateful for what she does.<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #674ea7;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"What if you woke up today, with only the things you thanked God for yesterday" ~ anonymous</b></span> </div>
<br />
I hope that by my continuing to share stories of the children in Bolivia with her, she will be more humble and caring.<br />
<br />
She get's it. I can't expect much more. For this, at least, I am grateful.<br />
<br />

As far as Macy goes...it's kind of the opposite.<br />
Not that I went on this trip seeking to get out anything 'out of it" for me. Afterall, it was ALL ABOUT THOSE KIDS. Once there, it was easy to understand the reason why God called on me to go there. JUST BE. JUST DO. JUST LOVE THOSE KIDS! simple really.<br />
But, this trip and these interactions with these children did put a few things into perspective for me...at least as far as Macy's concerned.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9xwXSAa4K_s7UnH4lI-WLKlG1F0IdWo5tzLUFc99fbPETfYMqBdH7WPx1VV0dl7sOsPaHB3ijH5-LUlCvR1SPD8k8kLPUuz_RHNB486kayO6q8bCM8Ep05mj_yZUZW4jS6bn2IWTS5QM/s1600/DSC_1727.4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9xwXSAa4K_s7UnH4lI-WLKlG1F0IdWo5tzLUFc99fbPETfYMqBdH7WPx1VV0dl7sOsPaHB3ijH5-LUlCvR1SPD8k8kLPUuz_RHNB486kayO6q8bCM8Ep05mj_yZUZW4jS6bn2IWTS5QM/s400/DSC_1727.4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I will say I returned with a better sense of appreciation for all the advantages that Macy has in this world. In this country. In this town. In this family. She has so many resources and opportunities at her disposal. More than she would ever need really. So the days of me stressing/losing sleep over.."are we doing enough"..."is she getting enough"...etc...are over. Girlfriend has ENOUGH!!<br />
And by ENOUGH, I mean people who love and care for her. People, in her circle, who would do ANYTHING to provide EVERYTHING that she should EVER need.<br />
<br />
This is going to sound bad, but I think I'm just going to type it as I honestly feel it. But...I can't help but feel that Macy, even with her significant & permanent physical and intellectual disabilities, has more HOPE for a better and more promising TOMORROW, than millions of other "fully-abled" children across the world, who live on the streets or who are at risk of living on the streets. She's going to be okay. Some of these children, who are poor, are abused, don't finish school, search for work as young as 6 to provide support to their families, most of whom are fatherless and turn to drugs to cope with the sadness and despair of their life, have a difficult time holding out hope. And the major reason this is - is trust. They lack the ability to rely on and fully trust anyone. So sad. :-(<br />
Thank goodness for organizations like Kaya Children Int'l. Kaya recognizes, reaches out and makes a difference in the lives of these kids. But at the end of the day, they still live in a country that is poor, and where the government is corrupt. My prayers are with all these kids every day!<br />
<br />
----<br />
Just makes you think. Puts things into perspective. I most certainly do not have any good reason to stress and fret over the opportunities and successes that lie ahead for our Little Miss Macy.<br />
<br />
Girlfriend WILL MOVE MOUNTAINS!<br />

Our journey home began with the loud buzz of the 3:00am alarm. Lovely.<br />
Pack up.<br />
Vamonos!<br />
Hasta Luego La Paz.<br />
<br />
Our group stood out front of the hotel in the dark of night, waiting for our four taxis to arrive.<br />
I was with Sarah & Lyn. Our taxi was third in line...3rd...until our cab started experiencing troubles. It kept STALLING! We were passed...we were now last.<br />
Our taxi proceeded to STOP 15+ more times. Seriously?? Are you kidding me right now?<br />
<br />
Fear sunk in.
<br />
<br />
Here we are...in a 3rd World Country...3 ladies...3:00am...<br />
<br />
Driving
through the dark & depressing slums of El Alto (must I remind you we
were afraid a few days prior in this very part of town in broad
daylight?). I'll let you do the math.<br />
<br />
His transmission was, as he told us, "caliente", that is why his vehicle
is struggling to make it up this steep mountainous terrain. The roads are narrow, with tall walls & large gates lining each of the streets. My heart was racing each time we stopped, just imagining who might have been behind one of these gates, jut waiting for some weak looking out of towners to "stop-by". All-in-all, aside from a few people rummaging through trash bins, the streets were pretty quiet.<br />
<br />
When the
car was running, it was at barely 10 miles/hour. Fast forward 15
minutes... I've never been so happy to see low flying airplanes
overhead! This was a sign the airport was nearby. Can I get a
HALLELUJAH? :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Three large buses could be seen from a distance. As we got closer we
could see several little heads peering through the gate that stands in
front of the Kaya Center. Before we knew it, a few of the kiddos had
escaped and rushed over to greet us with smiles, giant hugs and happy
giggles. You could sense the excited anticipation in the air. As we
walked through the gate, into the enclosed courtyard, there stood close
to 100 children, wall-to-wall, waiting, all bundled in their winter
gear, coats, hats and scarfs. Some, as the staff had anticipated,
arrived without proper attire, but no worries, they had plenty of gear
on hand to loan out to everyone. As a result, some kids' coats were a
bit oversized, but they didn't seem to mind one bit! <br />

Once the announcement was finally made to board the busses, I, along
with the children, could not run fast enough to claim our seats. I was
excited to be sitting across from Cindy, who speaks Spanish fluently. :)
Our bus happened to be full of the younger kiddos primarily...so, while
our two-hour trip was a tad-bit crazy, it was fun and PRICELESS at the
same time! We started off singing songs and the majority of our (Cindy
& my) time was spent ensuring equal time between various electronic
devices of ours (iPhones & iPad) that the children were eager to get
their hands on. "cinco minutos...dos minutos...TIEMPO"! "Sienta-te"
(sit down) was a frequent phrase heard out of Cindy's mouth. The kids
also enjoyed wearing our sunglasses, we had packed several and passed
them around. We took photos and called them "super estrella's". They
just LOVED seeing their faces in photo form on our cameras.<br />

About half way there...we had to pull over at a "toll type" stop. All the sudden, these
ladies & children surrounded our bus and started knocking on our
windows. We are practically in the middle of nowhere. It was SOOO
strange...kinda creepy, I'm not gonna lie.<br />
They were selling fresh made bread (looked & tasted like NAAN) & some type of juice in a plastic baggie. I was all for ignoring them...but all the kids rolled down their windows, reached into their pockets and exchanged their Boliviano's for several bags of bread & juice. I was like "WHAT??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??" never in a million years...<br />
But looking around, the other Kaya adults on the bus did not seem to have any resistance to the idea. So there you go...<br />

Cindy & I bought waaay more than we needed...so we asked and shared
them with the rest of the kids. They were so appreciative, gracious,
and polite. Not one child ASKED us for anything. They quietly waited,
once we asked if they wanted one...they would SMILE and of course say
YES. <br />

Snacks were also passed out during the long bus ride...crackers, candies and juices, etc...I wasn't hungry for mine, so I shared mine with Alberto. He was SOOO grateful. He put the extras in his big coat pockets. I just new he was going to take them home and save for later...or perhaps even share with his family who had very little (if anything) to eat where they live. It just made my heart melt to see & experience his genuine appreciation.<br />

After a couple hours we
finally arrived at Tiwanaku, which is an archeological ruins. I have learned
that this was one of two "large group" trips they have the opportunity
of taking each year. What BLESSING that we could accompany them on this
special outing. Our time at Tiwanaku was enjoyable. The kids had the
freedom to run and check everything out. All-in-all, I was impressed
(amazed might be a better word) at the organization and over-all
controls we had over the kids. As you could imagine the children
significantly outnumbered the adults. We toured, played, shopped and
picnicked for many hours without incident. Our two-hour journey and
descent home was much the same as our prior ascent into the mountain.
Albeit, slightly less energetic. <br />

As we were en-route, getting caught up in the fun day and silly commotion inside
the moving bus, taking in the gorgeous view of the Andes outside the
bus...it was easy to lose sight of who these children are, where they
come from, how they live and WHY the Kaya Center plays such an integral
part of allowing them to be "children" if even just for a few hours each
day. I paused for a moment, stole my iPhone back, turned a special song
"Gratitude" waay up. The song played during our team commissioning at church the week prior...I think I needed that five minutes to sit back and
truly absorb this moment. Silent tears were streaming down my cheeks
and neck. A familiar tightness grabbed ahold of my throat & ached my heart.
I wanted to make time stand still.<br />
At that moment I wanted to grab the
steering wheel and turn it into the direction of Elkhorn, NE. They could
live with me. I have room. But no. That's not the point. They love La
Paz. This is where they call home. No, they do not have it easy. Yes,
they have been forced to grow up too early. Some begin work to support
their families as early as six years old. This seems unfair. But I have
to remind myself, this is all they know. I am proud and my heart is at
peace knowing they have the fine staff and volunteers at the Kaya Center
who love and care for them. And ALWAYS WILL!!<br />
<br />
Okay. Unfreeze time. Back to our bus trip.<br />
----<br />
An eerie silence overcame us as our busses approached the Kaya
Center. Just knowing these special little people would be returning to
their "not-quite-like-we-have-it" homes, made for a somber departure
from the bus.<br />
<br />
I think having to say goodbye/Chau/Adios to all those incredible Kaya
kids tonight will rank pretty high as the "hardest thing I've ever had
to do". A million hugs and kisses by all. Our drawn out "Goodbye" in
front of the Kaya Center seemed to last an excruciatingly long time.<br />
We were all just so sad to be leaving Bolivia, leaving these amazing
people, we will miss their sweet smiles, kind hearts & tender
souls...but so glad to be returning home to our families.<br />

While the majority of our team went to Tiwanaku, a few others (John, Scott, Lee & Lyn) went to Calauma, a juvenile prison outside of town where two children (Carlos and Adolfo) Kaya has worked with in the past are living.<br />

</i><br />
<i>"Yesterday
was our last day visiting the boys of the Kaya family. We had two
different activities planned for the day. Most of the group (13) went
with almost 100 kids to Tiwanaku (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiwanaku">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiwanaku</a>).
The other four of us, myself, Scott, Lynn, Lee went to Calauma, a
juvenile prision here where two children (Carlos and Adolfo) Kaya has
worked with in the past are living. The plan was to go there and then
meet the rest of the group in Tiwanaku. The inturruption of plans began
as we arrived in Viacha, the city where the jail is situated. As we
arrived just minutes from our final desitination we quickly saw the road
blockade and the 3 military takes ahead of us. We asked for passage,
while denied we happened to meet someone going to the same jail who
could take us through another route. Definately a God moment. We began
to cross through this barren landscape, partly following a road and
partially making our own path. With the jail in sight our passage was
no blocked by a Toyota Corolla veered off a narrow passage over the
train tracks. What followed must have been nothing short of amazing and
surprising for the Bolivian driver as two big Americans came out of
nowhere to join a handfull of Bolivians and pick the car up off the
tracks.</i><br />
<i>We were blessed to be able to spend about two hours with Adolfo and
Carlos in Calauma. They asked for forgiveness for the mistakes they
made, shared how much being in the homes meant to them. Three times
they asked to be forgiven for the "grave mistake" they made. I assured
them, they are forgiven and that we were there to encourage them and to
remind them how many people love them, care for them and are standing
behind them to help and support them. They shared remembering even the
first time they came to the Renacer home and what living in the homes
meant to them. They said that without Kaya and the love in the homes
they would not have known God or God's love. It was something they had
never experienced prior to coming to live in the Kaya homes and clearly
made a mark on their life. Our visit was to encourage, support and to
remind them that when the time comes to leave not to look for problems,
but to look for help and support. Carlos was afraid it was too late for
him, but we assured him that it is never to late to change your life.
We encoruaged him not to focus on regrets of the past but to look
forward to the future. We shared time playing games and brought lunch
for Adolfo and Carlos. Part of our long visit and the special
permission to bring a camera may have been that Carlos is well liked by
the staff because he is an excellent soccer player. Regardless, we were
able to take in our camera and take the pictures you see below. We
know Kaya has made a mark on their lives and they will forever be a part
of the Kaya family. We don't now what that will end up looking like,
but pray they experience grace and live out of faith, hope and trust.</i><br />
<i>Our return back to La Paz was about as adventurous as the path there.
Our route we found in was no blockaded too. Amazingly though it was
Google Maps, with a little cell phone coverage that helped us navigate
our way out and back to the main road after nearly an hour on dusty dirt
roads. We all made it back safe and shared bittersweet moments of
saying goodbyes. If I'm able I'll add another post later from someone
who went to Tiwanaku and can share more about their trip.</i><br />
<i>It's 5:40am now. Most of us have been up since 3:00am and are ready
to board our flights back to the states any moment. We are blessed for a
smooth trip, relative safety (ask Scott about moving cars) and great
time with the kids. Thank you to everyone for all your prayers and
support. If all goes well the team will be back in Omaha at about 11:30
tonight. Please excuse any typos, the blog is being written after
about 2.5 hours of sleep early in the morning as we wait to board the
flight." </i><br />

We spent the majority of our day touring the impoverished, slum streets of El Alto.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (John elaborates on it a bit further at the end of this post) </span><br />
Needless to say, A wide range of experiences triggered an even wider array of
emotions...<br />
<br />
First we visited a place in El Alto, called <a href="http://www.wordmadeflesh.org/">Word Made Flesh</a> (which is actually based out of Omaha, NE) & learned about the
harsh realities of prostitution &
human trafficking. Such a wonderful ministry whose mission is to help these young women of Bolivia "AWAKEN" - "HEAL" - "RESTORE".<br />
<br />
<b><i>Word Made Flesh </i></b><i>(vision statement)</i><b><i> </i></b><i><b>is called and committed to serve Jesus among the most vulnerable of the world’s <a href="http://www.wordmadeflesh.org/the-cry/the-cry-vol-8-no-3/poverty/" target="_blank">poor</a>.

Next, we got an up-close & personal view at how many people in
this city live and work. Just thinking about all these negative
influences, and how vulnerable these children are, makes me sad. Sick
to my stomach to be perfectly honest.<br />
<br />
To add to the
craziness of this already corrupt city/government...the Policia De
Boliviano's had been on strike since our arrival. Which is one of the
reasons we did not go out during the night to minister to children
living on the streets. Oh and one of the airlines was on strike which
caused the airport to shut down for a few days during our stay as well.
We've come to find out that blockades, protests, rally's,
demonstrations, marches & riots are apparently a familiar site here.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's just unbelievable...we went from lowest of the low,
as we toured the streets and markets of El Alto - hopelessness, darkness, des<span class="text_exposed_show">pair,
had a real sense of fear for a few brief moments...to later in the day,
being a part of a special young man's graduation from Kaya as he
becomes "independent". It all makes sense...A full circle day indeed!</span><br />

<i>Today
was an emotional day for me, as anyone on our team would confirm. It
wasn't the start of the day, but the end. Really today would have given
anyone a full view of what Kaya does. From walking the streets of El
Alto to celebrating Daniel graduating and leaving the home to begin his
independent life. It's no small transition. For me the day was emotion
because of the incredible pride I have in Daniel's life. Not pride
over anything I've done, but simply proud of the responsible, honest,
caring and faithful young man that Daniel has become. Tonight was not
only an important moment in his journey, for me it was an important
moment in celebrating the fruits of years of investment from the Kaya
staff, donors and those who have prayed for our kids. When one sees the
life of someone they've invested in, someone you've journeyed with
through some challenging moments and time you thank God and you feel
proud. As Daniel said, years ago he left his home (of abuse) without
vision or direction and with fear. Today he leaves home knowing he has
the safety and love of a family to support him wherever God leads him.</i><br />
<i>This morning we visited El Alto, the poor slum city in the altiplano
(high plane) of Bolivia. There we visited Word Made Flesh to hear about
their ministry working with women in the sex trade. We learned there
are over 3,500 registered sex workers in the city. Word Made Flesh
works to awaken, heal and restore through working on the streets,
spending time in therapy and providing alternative income for these
women.</i><br />
<i>After Word Made Flesh we went to tour the city of El Alto, walking
the streets of the Ceja area. What most "street children" do now is
walk the streets during the day or night, often to rob, and then sleep
in either hostels during the day or "movie theaters." The streets are
littered with brothels, and hostels where younger girls go to "work" or
kids sleep. We went into theater today, a literally and figuratively
dark place. For $0.30 the kids can go in for as long as they want,
sitting in rooms laying on beaten up couches to rest. The theaters are
filled with odors of dirt, urine and filth, some there to watch, some
there to sleep, some there to do something altogether different.
Upstairs is a horror film, with more children sleeping. Most of the
children though are found behind two metal doors, padlock hanging on the
door unhooked, filled with men, youth and children watching a film no
child should see. As you leave your eyes are blinded again by the
bright lights of the direct sun, stepping into a market area mixed with
people to shop, drunks, and others there with more devious plans for our
group or anyone unaware of their surroundings. El Alto is covered with
a darkness that seems to entrap people's lives. Even in theater sat
one youth who had recently moved into El Alto, already trapped in the
darkness of this world.</i><br />
<i>Tomorrow we once again experience the light of the work of Kaya. We
have the blessing of taking our kids from Kaya to Tiwanaku for the day.
A handful of us will also head to Calauma, a youth prison, where we
will visit two former residents of the Kaya homes who left years ago.
Below are a handful of pictures. Not many places to take pictures.
Sorry, no videos today, we were not in places where you'd take a video.
If you want to hear more about these dark corners of the world ask
someone on our team.</i><br />

<br />
I'm Speechless. It's difficult to describe the emotions in my heart as I reflect on our experience the day we visited the families of the Kaya Children...<br />
We visited several of the homes (or should I scaled/climbed up rough
& steep terrains to access the areas they call home) of the children
who come to the Kaya Center. We saw first-hand the conditions in which
they live and got a feel for the only family dynamic they have come to
know. Each has a very unique, usually heart-breaking story. No water,
no electricity, sometimes four walls, no floor. A recurring theme of
filth, abuse, neglect, absence of a father, children (as young as 6)
going out to find work to support their families.<br />
As we went around, staff members of the Kaya team assessed their needs
(medical or otherwise), gave the children and their family members
oranges, water and clothing (clothing that our friends back in Nebraska
had donated).<br />
It was great to see the gracious smiles on their faces. A true sign of
the strength and resilience they have & so desperately need just to
survive.<br />
Really puts things into perspective...<br />
<br />
* The first home we visited, was that of Fabiola. <br />
* Second we hiked to the home of Hector, Alberto & Humberto. Their mother passed a year ago and Dad is an alcoholic. From what recall, their older sister lives with them as well, with two babies.<br />
*Marco Antonio - who lives with mom & 10 siblings. <br />
*Visited a place where adults who are severe alcoholics congregate and live. assessed their medical needs, etc...<br />
*Had lunch downtown. Didn't have much of an appetite for the typical pollo (chicken)/rice/potatoe dishes, so several of us just pigged out on some Papos Fritas!! (aka french fries).<br />
*Next we visited Nico's house (he's 6) - lives with grandma, sister and his niece & nephew.<br />
*Many others...much the same - Lots of climbing to get up to their "home" properties.<br />

John's blog below... <a href="http://bethanyelkhorn.org/blog/the-kaya-families">http://bethanyelkhorn.org/blog/the-kaya-families</a><br />
<br />
<i>Yesterday was the day were we were able to meet many of the Kaya
families; the places where our children come from for both the
residential program and the Kaya Center. The families Kaya works with
have an average income of $100USD per month, or about $3.25 a day. While
the average wage in Bolivia is a little above $2 a day, that is
challenging enough in rural areas but $3.25 a day is no livable wage in
the city for families often of 5 or more. Many of the families we
visited today have no formal jobs, instead relying on sparse jobs
washing cars, washing dishes, or "guarding" cars. Those families make
closer to $60 a month. Out of that comes rent, food, and, if the kids go
to school, uniforms and materials. Most kids don't go to school.
Instead they work alongside their parents at very young ages. They learn
how to earn money, learn the streets and have no vision for a future,
only temptations of the street.That's where Kaya steps in.<br /><br />
What you quickly realize is that Kaya isn't just about the individual
children we work with. In the residential homes and Kaya Center we serve
nearly 100 children. Not only does Kaya serve those children - through
enrolling them in school, tutoring and providing pshychosocial services,
the services of Kaya ripple into the families. We know that the root
causes of the problems children in the street face cannot be treated one
at a time, nor can the child be helped alone. For better or worse they
have families, know, and care for their families. All the problems
contribiting to where that child is at - poverty, abusive parents,
alchoholism, abandonment are woven together. It's in this messy area of
broken families, abusive relationships and desperate poverty that Kaya
works.</i>
<i><br /><br />
Kaya is first and foremost about changing the lives of children in the
homes and the Kaya Center. It's done through living out the love of
Christ, returning them to their childhood, introducing them to hope,
trust and faith. It makes a tremendous impact in their lives, yet that
impact fights daily against all those other problems. Many children have
no legal records (no birth certificate) nor do their siblings or
parents. They go home to homes with mud floors, with parents who can't
even work as a housekeeper because they have no idea what "clean" means.
So we work there. We get birth certificates, we vaccinate children, we
enroll them in school, and get even parents their birth certificates and
national IDs. At least then they are a legal person, with a legal name.
It's important, because it makes trafficing children more difficult.</i>
<i><br /><br />
Then we work with the parents as we are able. We provide parenting
classes for healthy parenting. We work with families to define roles.
When possible, we teach them how to cook and clean and help them find a
new job. (This is a new program we are trying to start as Warmi Kaya.)</i>
<i><br /><br />
Hope starts at Kaya when the kids come, but it never ends there. It's a
big uphill battle, but we are taking steps, changing lives of children,
and hopefully of families for generations to come. Today we saw some
challenging realities, you'll get a sense of it in the pictures. Kaya
remains connected in the streets and with this families. Tomorrow
evening we come full circle, celebrating the graduation of Daniel Mamani
from Kaya - one who lived a past just like these children but has a very
different future ahead of him.</i>
<i><br /><br />
As you look through some of our pictures and begin to sense what life is
like for these children and families I invite you to reflect on Genesis
1:27 - "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he
created him; male and female he created them." Reflect on how the
dignity of being created in the image of God is present in the lives you
witness.</i>

<br />
Arose and had some morning devotions with my roomies. I had also Recieved a surprise from back home...a very thoughtful card and note from my dear friend & neighbor Cheryl. She served as my "prayer advocate" :-) Her kind words brought warmth and smiles to my heart. Just what I needed!<br />
-----<br />
Left hotel around 9am & walked over to the Kaya Center (which was just a few blocks from our hotel)<br />
<br />
Most kids who come to the Kaya Center, live in extreme poverty, some on the streets or have a one room house that is shared with several family members. No water or electricity is common.<br />
As you could imagine, these children look forward to coming here.<br />
The Kaya Center is a place that is safe. A
place that provides warmth and shelter from the hot hot sun.<br />
A place where they will be treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.<br />
A place where positive reinforcement is demonstrated. Which is not generally
the case in their home situations, where strict discipline and many
times abuse is the result of poor decisions. And let's face it, these
are kids, and kids make bad choices. We all do, it's how we learn and
grow. At least at the Kaya Center, they can come and, in a sense, live a
proper CHILDHOOD.<br />
<br />
The challenge that the staff faces and battles head on each day, is to
simply encourage them to STAY IN AND FINISH SCHOOL. I'm sure this is
no easy feat. Especially without any kind of encouragement or motivation happening in their homes.<br />
We were introduced to all the staff members. A few that stuck
out for me are, of course, Xemena (Kaya Director), Sandra
(psychologist), Maria (Social Worker), Yan (from London, England,
volunteers as part of her medical mission, has been with Kaya for a
month & this is her last week).<br />
Along with Andrew (one of our group translators), who is also here on a medical mission.<br />
Ariel has been here for two years, working in administration, this is her last week as well. Next she will help out over at Casa De Esperanza<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (a place in El Alto that helps women get out of the sex-trade - that's a later post)</span><br />
Korina - who is a coordinator for events at center.<br />
All of these people I mentioned above are amazing, kind and patient. They work so well and have such a close knit bond with each of the
children's hearts. This was clear to see. God placed them here for a reason. They are an integral part in
allowing these kids to feel comfortable and TRUST. Trust is the key!
Without trust, they would get nowhere. (as Scott shared during
devotions one night - trust starts with the cross & ends with the
cross). Trust is not something that these kids have "handed out freely"
in the past. On the streets, or in their homes, they have been
neglected & abused. When they step foot in the Kaya Center and
experience an instantaneous BREATH OF FRESH AIR, are surrounded by good
vibes and positive, color, stimulation, a world (in the middle of a
crowded city), where they have access to several gaming options,
educational opportunities, medical attention (when needed), counseling, a
healthy meal and FRIENDSHIP!<br />
You can see and feel God working in and through everyone here.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, we played games, dolls, cards, Janga! Made jewelry, knitted scarfs. Played volleyball, soccer, soccer/tennis<br />
We were part of a birthday party celebration.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed ALL the kids! I was especially enamored with sweet young girl
named Claritza (6). She was shy and very quiet at first, just wanted
to push her bebe around in her stroller ...but once the two of us sat
down, I taught her how to play Jenga, her true, vibrant personality came
out! She was calling out inviting other kids around us to join in our
game. Before you knew it, we had 10+ kids circled around our one game
of Jenga. It was awesome!!<br />
<br />
They served up lunch, which today consisted of peanut soup, steak, rice, tomatoes & lettuce. I was still suffering from "Montezuma's revenge", so I ate lightly!<br />
Later in the day, our Bethany Kaya team ventured up stairs to unpack and
sort the clothing, winter gear and shoes we had brought over from the
states. Due to the enormous response of people donating so generously,
this proved to be a huge task. Had to sort everything by age, gender
and clothing type. Ay Yai YAI! I don't even like sorting the laundry
of my little 'ol family of four...now imagine the 17 of us...trying to
be on the "same sorting page (cuz we all have different ideas in mind of
how it we think it SHOULD be done). HA! Glad there were no cameras.
But we worked it out (without conflict) and got the job done. Whew!!<br />
Now the Kaya has tons of very good clothes to distribute to the kids who
come to the Kaya Center and give to children who live on the streets -
and their families.<br />
We actually had a chance to go along and hand deliver some the very next day (again, more on that in a later post).<br />
<br />
Some of their beautiful faces...<br />

Afterwards, although exhausted, we still managed to find some energy for
"souveniour" shopping over near St. Francisco square. Busy place! We
got tons of really great homemade Bolivian souvenirs.<br />
Apparently no La Paz shopping experience would be complete without encountering a few llama fetus (part of witch alley) <br />

We successfully hopped in 5 cabs and made the trek back to our hotel...<br />
<br />
Gathered for Evening devotions, then had a Fabulous dinner at El Asador. It was delish. Scott was especially thrilled about their special BBQ sauce. ha!<br />
<br />
Enjoyed a Nice, long, brisk walk back to hotel....<br />
Stayed up probably a little too late once again chatting it up with Teri. She is just so neat! :) I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her better on this trip.<br />

Below is <a href="http://www.bethanyelkhorn.org/blog/kaya-center">what Pastor John had to say about our day over at his blog</a>...<br />
<br />
<h2 class="pane-title">
<i>Kaya Center</i></h2>
<i><span class="submitted">June 25, 2012 - 9:44pm - <a class="username" href="http://www.bethanyelkhorn.org/people/jeggen" title="View user profile.">jeggen</a></span></i>
<i>Today
our team headed off to the Kaya Center. The Kaya Center was just full
of energy, as the kids enjoyed their first day of winter vacation and
many got to meet the team for the first time. The Kaya Center is a core
part of the Kaya ministry. It's where the kids go before or after
school and get help with homework, tutoring and time to play and
psychosocial services. Today was filled with games, including little
girls playing house with a doll, kids playing some new games we brought
with us and anyone who could playing with Lyn's iPhone. We spent some
time playing volleyball and "soccer tennis." Soccer Tennis, what's
that? you ask. Soccer Tennis is where you send the ball back and forth
to the other team using only your body/legs/feet and head, essentially
touching the ball only in ways legal in soccer. My crowning achievement
of the day, with the help of Daniel, was beating the "unbeatable" team
of the day. I enjoyed my proud moment, but in my pride was quickly beat
by a couple younger boys. We also had the joy of celebrating a
birthday today. In the Kaya Center it is a time to focus on the
positive of each child and really a spiritual moment. We sing happy
birthday, pray for the life of the child, and then sing a coupe of
praise songs It's about honoring their lives and asking God's blessing
over their next year of life.</i><br />
<i>After time in the soccer game we headed downtown for shopping and
spent some good time there shopping. Miraculously I was able to send
the team back to the hotel in five different taxis without incident!</i><br />
<i>Today during our devotionals we talked about the dignity of creation.
We know we are each created in God's image and I believe we are called
to honor that by seeking, expecting and honoring the best in others.
In the coming days as we learn more about where the Kaya kids come from I
hope we can continue to seek the positive and honor the goodness
inherent in each child. As Boystown says, there are no bad children,
just children raised in bad environments. The last few days we've seen
the fruits of significant investments of love and dignity in the joy and
hope the kids have. Tomorrow we begin to realize just how much that
means.</i><br />
