One of the highlights of my trip was hanging out with my godkids. Here are my three youngest.

Danny
Danny got to come over to my place to play several times during my trip. He's doing great! It was wonderful to see him so happy and having a great time.

He loved bouncing this ball back and forth. He's getting ready to start school in April.

Andrea
My goddaughter Andrea is doing great. She's at the top of her class and got a prize for being the best student in her school, straight A's. She's also on the swim team.

Andrea and her sisters
Here she is again with her two older sisters, Carolina and Ruth. I can't believe Caro is 16 now and all grown up - she was younger than Andrea is now when I first met her.

Natalia
Here's my girl Natalia. I got to be there for her 7th birthday. Guayaquil has two soccer teams, Barcelona and Emelec, who are big rivals. To put it in baseball terms, I'm a White Sox fan (Barcelona) and her dad is a Cubs fan (Emelec). I've been indoctrinating her since a young age and it's paid off :). Here she is in her Barcelona jersey. She even knows all the words to their fight song.
