Week Two

So I am gettin' a hang of this whole blog dealio. However I have been a lil lax on keeping up with pictures...now I understand why the second child never gets as much baby pictures...Mom...(cough)...lol. Anyways. This past week has been great! Everyday I continue to fall more in love with the children here. The mornings are hard work, and it makes me question my dream of having seven children...Thank God for mothers right! This past week I have been experiencing like light-headedness...if thats a legit word, and the nurse thinks its anemia but I am pretty positive its not. After passing out on monday and nearly landing on 2 month old baby Emily, I think that if it continues I will go to the clinic. Other than that everything has been really great. I took Eva to town to get a milk shake...and I was extremly impressed to see she downed a entire milk shake with only two breaths...shes a tank! As I said before she never smiles or laughs like the other children which is why I chose to bring her along. However last night apparently before dinner the other girls here witnessed lots of laughter and smiles and even talking. She would say "Auntie! and point and laugh!...gosh. if you knew her at all...its a miracle...and I missed it! oh well. Josaphine...the one I want to sneak home in my suit case is feeling a lot better. Out of all the things there is to do here...I would say putting the babies down to bed is my all time favorite. There is twelve little naked bodies running around and they are all usually relatively happy because they have all just been fed, and its up to just you to throw diapers on them, then their night clothes and toss them in their cribs. I probably over kiss them all...which is probably where I got my latest cold from but they are so dang cute. The other day one of the mamas had me read a story to the babies and one story led in to 8 books! These kids are like 2-3 which is amazing attention span if you ask me! They all just stared lol.
The children are constantly learning every day and it's so cool just to watch them grow and learn to walk and talk. Its weird to think that we were kids like them and how time flies, yet we ourselves are still learning to live and adapt to the new things that God throws our way.
Yesterday while sitting in the grass while all the kids ran inside for dinner, William (5 years) was by himself crying very softly about who knows what :) and little Mathias who is partially deaf comes to him and uses his own t-shirt and wipes Williams tears. I wish I had a camera because it could of been the cutest thing I have ever seen...i nearly had tears myself. Anyways...you all Im sure are thinking that this is wayyy too much to read so I should go and start laundry. I miss you all and pray God is with all of you. Thanks for tuning in :)
