Poma family party and Landy children dance at a school assembly in the center of Guadalupe

One evening four neighborhood boys, Fernando, Leechi, Milton and Luis rang our doorbell and offered to sell me the live baby possum they are holding.   They mentioned something about the medicinal benefits of the possum blood. 


Emmett and his friend, Jorzy, at the Poma family reunion.   The men/boys played with 2 legs tied together against the women who were able to play independently.   Emmett and Annalise know the Poma family from school, and Emmett dances and plays soccer with many of the Poma family members.   They gave Emmett a personalized Poma family "T-shirt" 



The children played musical chairs
