 This is our Eid dinner. It looks interesting in this picture, but it was all pretty much delicious!

As we were heading back from our Eid dinner we stopped by the side of the road and picked some Eucalyptus leaves. Beside us on the side of the road was a man standing on a ladder using it to even out the mud in his field. It was interesting to watch!

This is our 'slumber party'. It was really fun. They were the first week.



Top to Bottom, Left to Right: Konny, Kami, Heather, Marissa, Chantel, Melony, Kimberly.

Twister was fun, although Melony made it her mission to knock me down every time! It involved a lot of falling!

 This is honestly one of my favorite pictures! The all look like they are having such a fun time and I LOVE Rebecca's face!! As you can see, they didn't really get the concept of only your hands and feet are supposed to touch!

The order (L to R): Jennie, Bristy, Sherry, Rebecca, Diana. This is group was the second group. They were crazy and loud and fun!

Here are Isaac and Noah, the two buddies that take care of each other. Isaac is in the GAP sweater and Noah has the hat on. They both are very cute and when they see us they run to us smiling!

Danny is fun. He comes up to our room at random times. It is usually while the other kids are resting. This happened to be a Sabbath afternoon before we went to the village Sabbath School. He does enjoy listening to my mp3 player or Lauren's ipod!

 For Art one Sunday we decided to do sidewalk art using calk. This is a flower one of the children did. It looks pretty cool I must say. Many of these kids are very talented in the drawing department!

Charity is a twin. They are young enough that they are still in the baby room. At this time we were trying to get a picture of Charity, but she wasn't smiling, so I picked her up and she clung to me. So many of the kids just need love and they are all so cute, it's easy to love them all!

So while we were out with the kids we discovered why teeter-totters are illegal in America. This is showing the after effects of seeing how many children could fit on, or something like that. Tisha (she's on the ground, you can see the pink of her dress) got squished and fell off. She wasn't hurt, but it did cause a big commotion!

This is some of the children that are in the baby room. I happened to take this picture Thanksgiving morning. When I spent most of the morning with them. You can see Isabella's hand at the bottom. Straight in the middle is Lexi with Faith beside her. The child in blue with her back turned is Coco and the baby in front of her is Karena. I don't know the caretakers name, but all the caretakers in the baby room are very happy and are very good with the babies!

After church, well really any meeting, we get mobbed by children. I think something I'm going to miss most is having a child on my lap during church and prayer meetings. I have tried to vary who is on my lap, but there are a few that are consistant, Danae is one! She sits there quietly, unlike some who just can't sit still!

Another thing I am going to miss is having children hanging on my arms. Being attacked by at least one child the moment we come down the stairs!
