Ordinary Miracles

This is a blog about my adventure to Chile, and how every day I want to be a witness to all of the ordinary miracles that surround me. Sometimes, just recognizing the ordinary miracles makes us realize just how extraordinary they really are.


Every week, the place in my heart for all of these niñas and niños gets bigger! I absolutely love them. I love their hugs. I love their adorable personalities. I love getting to know them and seeing them become more and more comfortable with Gretchen and me. I love their Monday shows. I love hearing “Tïas de Inglés!!” from such cute little voices. I love it all.

A few of the pictures are of a practice session for next week’s dance, which will be especially big this week because of Fiestas Patrías. September 18th is Chile’s Independence Day and, with 2010 being the 200th year for Chile, the entire experience will be double the grandness. I am really looking forward to everything that will be going on in the city, but I am especially looking forward to being at the jardín with the kids on Thursday! I am sure it will be a lot of fun!
