Happy Birthday Naomi

Today is Naomi's 11th birthday. It's hard to imagine her as anything but a little girl. Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

Back to the baby house again today. I spent the whole day there as it is so busy and I feel guilty to leave Rosa alone with 5 little ones.

Just as I was about to leave Val arrived with another little one in her arms.
A one year old little girl. So sad to see this one with her hair done up and wearing her best party dress.

Another crack addicted mom that walked into her office and said "I'll be back in 5 minutes". Apparently this is not the little ones first visit to the baby house.

All the other little ones are wonderful.
The twins are two little scamps. Beware of allowing D to get too close with her face as she is a champion head butter.

T has two wonderful front teeth. Beware she is capable of finger tip amputation.

Boy Wonder is waking up and is now hungry man. We've finally clued in he's no longer a newborn and needs a full bottle not just half.

S had a new view of the world from a vertical position. She had her first stay sitting propped up in the baby walker on wheels.

G is smiling and such a happy girl. She is teething and enjoys the icy chewy rings from the freezer.

The twins big sister G girl had a special day with my friend Genny. She spent the day swimming and spending special time away from the other toddlers.

All is quiet on the island. The curfew was lifted so it is back to business as usual.

The rain finally came yesterday and gave the plants a drink. Today is breezy and much more comfortable.

The roosters don't seem to be as loud as before.
The monkey la las are scurrying about. They are little lizards that look like miniature dinasaurs. They walk on all fours and then stand on their hind legs and run away saying "Ha Ha you can't catch me"

Herman still gazes through the screen wondering how much longer I plan to be around.

Stay Well,

Karen
