Sing us a song and we’ll sing it back to you

I have so many more interesting stories to tell you and so many more things that I want to share that are not baby related, but I know that you are here to see babies! So, without further adieu, here are some pictures of our babies in their new clothes donated by the lovely Eileen Dolan and her mother! Hope you enjoy seeing the babies in their new clothes as much as we enjoy that they have them. If anyone else would like to donate, please donate socks and pj’s. We have lots of new clothes, but not enough shoes, socks, and jammies!

I took these pictures yesterday in the midst of singing and playing “ring-around-the-rosie”. The children are so cute when they try to sing their little songs and mimic what we sing to them. BINGO just ends up being N-G-O. They somehow don’t get the “B” and “I” part of the song. But thats ok. Its still cute. So, again, drool over the cuteness that is my Elinipa and friends. Tanzania is crazy if they think that I am really going to get on that plane in December without my little girl. Oh, I’m in such trouble…

Mark in his new duds! He came to us emaciated and dehydrated, but look at him now! He wears clothes that fit 18 month olds…but he’s only 7 months. He’s our a little blessing… all smiles and giggles!

Ellie poses for the camera!

Happy in purple. A good combination. And guess what else? She drank 6 ozs. from a bottle yesterday. Go Happy girl! Shae-Shae can sleep easier at night now!

Ashley and Maxi chillin’ with Peter and Hidaya.

(L to R) Lazaro, Hope, and Rahma ---- a lethally cute combination!

Rahma loves her some Shae-Shae. I didn’t want to take a picture but she insisted. So here we go. Ebony and Ivory.

Lets hear it for the boys. They were so proud to show off their new clothes. Lazaro did his own little fashion show. It was precious! He knew EXACTLY who had new clothes on and he brought them to me for pictures. It was like he was the fashion director and we were the press at his show. So cute.

Amina was singing to Happy and trying to help her clap. It was precious.

Ring-around- the- rosie

Can’t wait to hear from all of you. Taking today off and relaxing in the apartment. But of course, I spend my time looking at pictures of all the children and hearing their sweet sounds from their home downstairs. Such sweet sounds. I could get used to this forever.
