Happy December Birthday

We were supposed to have the December birthday party on Sat.,

but because the day was filled with rain, we moved it to Tuesday 

after we were done with the sea container.

Singing happy Birthday and getting cupcakes.

celebrating Joy's 1st birthday.

since everyone was around for the sea container they stayed around

to help celebrate at the birthday party too.

Sea Container

On Monday and Tuesday of this week we were able to unload

and distribute the final sea container for the year.

 Monday was a LONG day. We arrived at the port to hopefully

'encourage' those at port to get moving and get us the container.

THANKFULLY we got it opened and unloaded before the port

closed for the day.

 The unloading of the container into the box trucks

 the 'over seers' watching the process:)

 Unloading the first day....

 and the second day....

 we worked a lot harder the second day but it felt good to get it 

all done.

Praise Jesus for another container delivered! 

Look Who Came To See Me!

 

Praise Jesus for working in ways only He can!

Typical Days Photo Dump

This is my first 'free' day in a long time so I have been able to pull

the pictures off my camera that my kids have been taking for probably

a month or more:)

 Kara-Lee and Allesha

 view of the chaos that is life!

 playing 'hide the calculator' with prince charming.

 The big thing now is building big sand 'mountains'  then smushing

them....

 then building them back up and doing it again!

 explaining notes I jotted down to the kids

 writing 'to-do' lists so I don't forget.

 The shirt baby girl is wearing is perfect for her. It says:

'Being cute has gotten me this far'

So True, So True!

 snack time.

 Matthew

He is such a great kid. I am a huge fan.

 putting itch cream on bug bites.

 Felicia and Kara-Lee modeling the make up they just applied.

 Imari and I

 monitoring the kids as they choose their snacks from the bag.

 Shanel modeling her makeup covered face.

 ready for the kids to get the camera out of my face!

 these two girls are like a daily soap opera. So much drama!

Yesterday I asked Shaniqua about it, She was mad at Dadire because

she would listen so she was 'vex' with her. I asked her if Monday

they would be friends again, and she just looked at me like "duh"

of course we would be friends again Monday!

 Britania loves taking self portraits.

 Trying to communicate with Blake :D

Blessings on your weekend!

O Christmas Tree!

The 'Christmas Tree' in the library is up and the kids

have been spending their library time making

ornaments to decorate it.

Praise Jesus for construction paper and pipe cleaners!

Newest Blessing

This little guy arrived yesterday while I was at New Hope.

He has the most BEAUTIFUL eyes and big drooly grin:)

Please be praying for Him.

Thanks!

Lollipop

This week is testing at CCCD so I am 

spending my days at New Hope playing

with my babies, and helping to get things

ready for Christmas.

Yesterday was a lollipop kinda day.

From about 1:30-3 each day I have a window

(that the kids are sleeping,or in their beds)

to decorate.  Its SO FUN to watch them wake

up from their naps and come out to see 

what room was decorated that day.

Thank You Jesus for the small things!

Thanksgiving

This past weekend the CCCD missionaries

were able to meet up at JDV for a day to hang

out and celebrate Thanksgiving.

 Ben and Krista did the cutting of the meat.

We all brought our favorite Thanksgiving dishes

and had an AMAZING meal!

 the Head of our table

 the rest of the table. 

All the parents are out of the picture

so they must be getting things

for their kiddos.

after a wonderful meal, reading the story of the first 

thanksgiving, and going around to share what we

are thankful for. We played games while our food

settled, before digging in to the Yummy desserts.

Thank You Jesus for these Wonderful people I get

to serve beside.
