Yesterday, we celebrated Mariana’s 17th birthday, which actually took place on Sunday. Since we couldn’t celebrate with her on the day, we surprised her with a cake and some of her friends from Portena. It was such a joy to have the chance to celebrate her and make the day special!

We are so grateful to have Mariana with us in the house—not just for how kind and respectful she is, but also for the dedication she brings to every activity. Her positive energy and effort truly make a difference in everything she does. We look forward to many more years together! 🎉
