Two thousand and eleven was a great year for the Hearn Family. We are certainly hitting our stride and beginning to flourish in our roles as quasi-missionaries/NGO directors. Here are the highlights: The Family The kids are growing smarter and more beautiful everyday. Ben started preschool (in all-Spanish public school) this September, and is comfortable and making friends and learning [...]

In the past, I’ve mentioned our non-profit, “G42″ and you may have noticed “The 42nd Generation” as one of my blog categories… but I’m not sure if I’ve described what I mean by this phrase.
