Our Dora

I hired a lady, Dora, to help me with Barron and the house before Barron was born.  She started working for us last March.  I have never blogged about her but she has been a big part of our lives.  She is with us four days a week and would babysit at night whenever we needed her to. She moved to the U.S. from Honduras 12 years ago and became a citizen of the U.S.  She does know a little English but there is a definite language barrier between us.  I have always wanted my children growing up knowing two languages and she does a great job teaching Barron.  You can definitely tell he understands her!
Well the reason I am telling you all of this is because we found out Sunday night she is leaving us.  Her niece, which she practically raised, has been diagnosed for a second time with cancer. Dora has decided to go back to Honduras to be with her.  It was really hard news to hear and I realized what a big part of our lives she is.  Her last day with us is Friday.  I don't have many pictures of her but I thought I would post the ones I do have.
