Lane and Lindsay!!!!
I was so excited about and blessed by the arrival of two of my very best friends from home last week. Lane and Lindz showed up in Cochabamba to spend some time working with us at Casa de Amor!
And let me tell you, what luck they had! They showed up on the day of Operation: Scabies!
That's right. Here at the Baby Home, we've been battling scabies for a while now. Whaaat? That's not just the name of some disease from the Oregon Trail days? People actually get Scabies?
Yes. Yes, they definitely do.
Every single kid and staff member at the Baby Home was blessed by the arrival of Mindy, one of our latest infant additions. Every single kid and staff member also welcomed with open arms, (and open pores,) about a million of Mindy's closest parasite friends. We knew that Mindy arrived with some major skin issues, but we were reassured by the hospital that she was not contagious. The scabies bumps were, in the hospital's defense, well-covered by other skin issues, but about two weeks later, as one by one, we alllll started itching, the diagnosis wasn't a difficult one. Hellooooo, Scabies! We'd appreciate your prayers as we're still working hard to completely rid the house...it's not easy, as the bugs can live in our clothes, sheets, carpets, toys, etc, etc, etc!
Right after picking up the girls at the airport, we came home to begin covering kids in cream and getting ready to evacuate the house for a weekend of fumigation and cleaning.

Rachel's family opened up their house to alllll of the Baby Home for an entire weekend away!
Getting settled in our Vacation Home :)
Still lovin' life - a little scabies won't get this guy down. :)
So as you can imagine, Lane and Lindsay got right to work. This dinosaur of a baby welcomed Lindsay with a special gift.
New friends
The boys took advantage of free time to brush up on finance.
Accounting. Not as easy to learn as he had thought.
Pajama Party!
We were surrounded by plenty of open space for the kids to run around annnnd learn how to play kickball!
We also took a big trip to Pairumani Park - one of my favorite places in Cochabamba!
Lookin' good as usual.
How did Brayon poop on the outside of his pants? We may never know. He's a man of mystery, that one.
We did manage to break the record of Most People In The AutoGrande...
29 people in the car!
So much fun! Love these girls!
NOOOOOOO FAIR LINDSAY!!!!!!
