birthday surprise!

after a long day of teaching, soccer practices, and games, manuel's family suprised me with flowers, cake, and balloons.  i think THE WORLD of manny's family.  even though communication is challenging, i enjoy their company!  for everyone who knows manny...he is the mannerly gentleman that he is because of his family.  what a selfless heart for allowing manny to live with us.  we are the lucky ones!!

thank you, contreras family, for making my birthday so special!  what's even sweeter is that they came over to celebrate knowing manny was at practice at the time.
