The Pensions

i love altenmarkt!!!
yesterday was our third visit to the pension in altenmarkt and they just get better and better. i am more comfortable, the kids are more comfortable with me because they get to know you, you recognize more faces, make friends...



i won't say too much, but i brought my camera yesterday, so i will post some pictures. i don't have any of the group as a whole, because any time i took my camera out to take a picture, it would distract from everything else. so during song time, and the story i put it away, which is unfortunate because i would have liked to post a picture of the group activities so that you could get a feel of what it is like but... you'll just have to settle for what i've got.


this is just a place, about 5 minutes away from the pensions, where we stop to pray for the day ahead of us:

here is our lovely irish friend eileen with three sisters:
working on the craft:
it was david's birthday yesterday, so we celebrated by having cake with the kids. this is a sweet, sweet 11 year old girl carrying in the cake:
this is her little brother who is just a goof and LOVED getting his picture taken (followed me around all night!) :
here is david with some young friends (notice all the flags represented on the cake - and that's not even half of the countries represtented in the room. it's a diverse group of kids) :
here are a few mothers who hung around for a while, waiting for the clothing giveaway after the kids time:
isn't he a cutie!!!
now we're gonna get to my favorites. when i make my calendar, this photo is going on it - who couldn't love this face:
haha, just having fun with the camera:
visiting these sisters and their mother are the highlight of thursdays for me:
me with my favorite girls:
does this satisfy the demand for more pictures?? if you were wondering, i did not add names or countries for the protection of those in the pictures. (it was just something i was told not to do.)
i am a bit sad that i only have one more visit to the pensions. next week is the last and i will try to get more pictures next week (plus one of kendra - i didn't get any of her!)
hope you all enjoyed.
