November Birthdays

This afternoon my daughter, Brianna and Katie, made cupcakes for the babies. Also a small cake for Staci who will be five tomorrow. My twins are 15 today.

All the little cupcakes are thanks to ShopRite who donated the cake mixes and ice cream cones.

The kids were cute to watch eating them. Some licked all the frosting off, others started eating from the bottom. Some just looked at them!

Since Staci's friends moved to Havilah, she has become a big helper around the Home. She helps feed the children, let's me know when someone needs attention and even helps Mary clean.

It’s a boy…It’s a girl!

Nope, not twins, at least not biologically. In adoption we call it "artificial twinning", and that is what Meredith has now! Coleton and Addison are only two months apart in age. I must say that motherhood definately suits Meredith, and she is a natural. Congratulations to this new family unit!

A year ago, this was a dream in Merediths heart, and now it is reality!

A handful and a heartfull! Addison was a bit upset. Coleton is wondering what is going on!

She wanted milk!

Monday, the volunteers brainstormed on what activities to have for the toddlers. Right now, all our toddlers are from 2-2 1/2, so still pretty young. The lesson plans we had were for older children, so the volunteers came up with modified plans.

Yesterday was the first day, they had them outside as the weather was nice. These are photos of them doing their craft.

I received a lovely little package in the mail today. Two handknitted baby caps and a kids book about Moses. It has hiding pictures that you open the "doors" and see the picture behind.

Thank you so much to "Karen" of Auckland, New Zealand for sending these to us!

It amazes me continually, how far reaching the effects of our website are, and what wonderful, caring people there are out there in the world! We all need to focus more on them, than the horrific things we hear about in the daily news. God is still in control and will always be.
