As of now we can not find any flights opened to get home, and I think I am staying and leaving on the original date of Thursday. I am crushed not to be with britt during this time but I know that if I am supposed to be there the Lord will provide a way. If not I am blessed to get to spend my last week with my babies.

Yesterday was really good. The Lord helped me to keep the distractions out of my head and be all there for the babies. I had an especially good day with R baby. She laughed so much, and was not as insecure on the balcony. Sometimes she is really intimidated and stands still unless I move her but today she was doing great. I cannot even tell you how great M-son is doing. It has been a 180 turn around. He is smiling more and more everyday and he has a much better attitude about walking. Leine and k-man also did great today. E-man did not have a great day.. I have never seen him throw a fit till today. It was quiet amusing, but of coarse he was fine. He ended up falling asleep while crying. Sometimes I feel like these kids just have break downs.

I kept tutu out for most of the morning. Because she is older I have learned I can keep her out while I have my babies out, and she likes to help me play with them. My babies love bubbles, and she loves to blow bubbles for them. She also loves to help M-son walk by cheering for him. Tutu is sooo precious. I have never heard a laugh like hers or seen so much joy in a kid. She gets upset when she has to go back to the nursery, but she holds it in and I sit down with her and tell her I love her, (she tried to repeat it and says something like “ilavpoo”) and then gives me a kiss and she is fine. She is a very tough girl. She really is a miracle baby.

It is also so cool how well I have gotten to know the other volunteers here. Alecia has been here since the day I got here and is leaving one day before me. Spending so much time with someone in a place like this brings out different relationships than any I have had. The Lord has blessed me so much from the friendships here. Being here with Kim has also been a blessing. Me and kim really do know how to have a good time together.

Keep praying for these kids. I can’t believe I have less than a week left. I love yall and thank you for the prayers! And please be praying for brittani and her family
