It was very hard to pack and eat breakfast - we were all ready to head to the baby centre as soon as we woke up! The trip from Nairobi was uneventful except for the excited scurry for cameras when we saw the occasional zebra or baboon. The roads were exceptional all the way until we turned onto the road back to Ngata. Then we were met with packed dirt and deep ruts. The short bouncy mile seemed like forever until we pulled into the front gates. The Toddlers were out in the yard playing and it was so tempting to leave the suitcases in the vans and go play. But since our drivers were returning to their homes, we quickly unpacked. After a short orientation, we were finally able to meet the babies! Well at least the women of the group! The men started working on shelves for the 3rd wing. We ladies settled into the middle nursery and it didn't take long for the kids to jump on our lap, or snuggle in for a hug. We helped feed them blended bananas and were instantly in love! Amos kept us entertained with his hearty laugh and comical smile. Moses kept our ears ringing with his constant crying (he's not too fond of wazungus)! Rose was just a little sweetie. And everything Shadrack did was absolutely adorable! Missionary Robyn Moore was here for baby check ups and Cassie was kept busy consoling some not-to-thrilled Toddlers while they were checked out. Please pray for a few of our babies who are not feeling well at this time. The men were able to go into the toddler room for a little bit before coming up for supper. It was a very good and productive first day and we are so blessed to be here!
