http://thebolanosfamily.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
10 Boys and Counting . . . Saturday, November 28, 2009. Santa Maria del Tule. El Tule is a gargantuan Mexican cypress, probably the massive tree in Latin America. Its gnarled, house-size trunk divides into a forest of elphantine limbs that rise to bushy branches reaching 15 stories overhead" (Bruce Whipperman, "Oaxaca"). In 2005, its trunk had a circumference of 119 feet, a slight increase from a measurement of 37.5 ft in 1982. However, the trunk is heavily. Would also support this" (Wikipedia). Ricardo ...

http://lisaholmlund.blogspot.com/2009/06/ordination.html
Life is always a journey with Lisa. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. I am sitting in my office on this first day back to work after I have now been ordained. I found the article that shared about my ordination service. I am posting it here so I don't forget about it. One of the highlights for me was having my dad be the one to pray over me during the service. You can see us together in the third picture below that was on the Covenant Website. Novak: We Need ‘Culture of Conversation’ About Jesus. Following Paul...

The Bolaños Family: 4 Months Old
http://thebolanosfamily.blogspot.com/2011/03/4-months-old.html
10 Boys and Counting . . . Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Today Micah is four months old. I can't believe how quickly time goes by. We have already been back in Oaxaca for two months, which is how much time we spent in Washington for Micah's birth. And can we believe it's already March 2011. I feel like the new year just began. I guess when you're extremely busy, time goes by more quickly. I love that we are developing a routine. So our average day looks something like this:. 6am Feeding and wake up. So our d...

10 Boys and Counting . . . Sunday, December 27, 2009. The Week Of Christmas! Christmas Day was yesterday, and it is just now that I am able to sit down and rethink the week. The week leading up to this special day has been a long one. Christmastime here at the children’s home is full of activity and emotion. The big activities started last Saturday when Jill and I took 13 children shopping for their Christmas presents. Finally when the party is slowing down everyone goes to bed. All the parents and f...

The Bolaños Family: March 2010
http://thebolanosfamily.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
10 Boys and Counting . . . Monday, March 15, 2010. When I was 17 I spent six weeks at a children's home in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. I served there as an intern. The most profound moments I spent there, was when I watched three children leave the home. And in that moment, I had thought to myself, "how can she just let them drive away like that? She loved them and invested so much into them. And now, they are gone.". No one else sees much good in him, and I just feel bad. I tried to assure him th...

10 Boys and Counting . . . Monday, April 25, 2011. So yesterday was Easter, and I must say that I am yet to celebrate a holiday in Mexico the same way we celebrate in the States.

The morning nap has stretched to three hours instead of two. He is smiling at people other than just mommy and daddy. He loves to be talked to. Micah sti...
