 Playing bean boozled with cousins. She had fun until

she got a 'rotten milk' jelly bean instead of a butter popcorn and

then she was done:)

 

Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving

 Praising Jesus, that the turkey once more turned out and I didn't

ruin the meat!

 

 The guys cutting the meat.

 

 Our Thanksgiving Feast.

 The awesome people that God has brought into my life down

here. Who have become my family, and I am so THANKFUL

that we were able to come together and share this

 Thanksgiving meal together.

Life

 Where I found her before 6 a.m. the morning after

the sea container was distributed. It was like Christmas

morning for her.

"I'm not riding it mom, i'm just sitting on it." :)

 Neiah and Daisha played awesome together while they were here.

And Daisha taught Neiah some new things. One, being how to 

brush white girls hair.

 Beautiful sunrises here on campus.

 It was fun having my old neighbors living next door again

for a few days.

Neiah was invited to her first school friends

birthday party. It was an outdoor party, and

it was pouring outside. But we made the best 

of it.

The first party game: Mother daughter dance 

competitions... Neiah and I were NOT the

winners :). Sorry Neiah... Mom fail.

Its been awhile...

So I thought I would post some updated pics from 

the kiddos at New Hope!

 brothers

 please be continually prayerful for Junior.

As you can see his tumor is once more growing,

Please pray for wisdom as Dr's decide whats 

the best thing to do for him.

 Sibings.

Please be prayerful for these little loves. 

That they can quickly go back to their families,

or be placed with their forever families.

Thanks

 Happy Sabbath

 This is his life. sleep, sleep, sleep.

 socks.... something we never thought much 

about down here until we started working 

with babies.

 "Mom, your not going to leave my hair like this

are you? I look like a peacock!"

(no, I didn't leave her hair like that. I was just trying to

get strait parts!)

Meetings with the JOC.

So thankful for each of them, and their willingness

to invest in us down here.

FYI

I know I have been slacking on this blog. Life has gotten busy.

 I know thats not a good excuse, but Lord Willing

 I will be posting more on the En Gedi site 

( www.engedihouse.blogspot.com ) 

if you want to follow along there. It is a locked site,

 so if you are not already approved to look just 

shoot me an email and I will grant you access.

 This site needs to be locked so we can safely show

 pictures of the kids that God brings us to care for.

Blessings
