February 22
The girls' principal and his wife (who also works at the school) had their 1st baby at the beginning of February. He arrived 14 weeks early. He's 3 weeks old now and doing okay, but it's still going to be a long and bumpy ride. It's been truly amazing to see and hear about the outpouring of love and support from the school and the community. These are poems written by one of the 4th/5th grade classes, full of the students' hopes and dreams for Baby Mateo. They're beautiful. Even though they weren't written by Vicki's class, I still love to stop and read them whenever I walk by, and I get choked up every time. I, too, hope and dream and pray that Mateo can grow "strong like the king of the wild", and that his "heart beats like a bongo drum".
