Wow, it's hard to believe how fast the week is going! We have tried very hard to spend as much time as possible with the babies while finishing all of our projects. It is a balancing act and it's too easy to feel like you should be working on a project instead of just sitting and holding a baby. We had to make baby hours where we would just stop whatever we were doing and go spend time one on one with the kids. There is no better way to spend a morning than holding, playing and loving on beautiful babies. They love it too and often fall asleep! The weather has been beautiful and it makes it nice to sit on the grass in the sunshine. The birds were singing in the acacia tree near the play yard. And I was so surprised that I have only seen one pigeon! The previous October team must have won the pigeon war! We worked hard on finding clothes out of the storage room for each baby to wear for the Baby Centre Reunion. The biggest challenge was finding enough shoes in the right sizes for each child. That is definitely going to the top of the list for the next team - shoes of all sizes! Colleen finished up her murals in the crawler nursery and Pastor Don finished painting the new entrance sign. Team members are starting to have "favorite" babies and the babies seem to know it! In the evening we took finger puppets and bells down to the toddler room. Stephanie and Cassie brought a veggie tales cd and we "danced" to the music. The bells were attached to a shower ring with ribbon. Of course it didn't take them long to realize if they bit on the ribbon hard enough they could bite the bell right off. We quickly confiscated them...we hope! Everyone was very tired at the supper table but it was a good tired. God is so good!
