What to call this?

So it has been almost two months since I last wrote on here. Since then I have gone to the states for three weeks, started my second semester here, had our first foster baby get adopted, and took home another sweet little boy. Yes, I have been busy, hence the no blog writing. I enjoyed being home for three weeks over Christmas. It was an unexpected trip but a great one. It was great to celebrate my 25th birthday with my sweet birthday buddy who turned nine :). Of course, I wanted to see snow. But did it snow? NO. Oh well. It was great seeing my friend's new little baby. I also enjoyed spending time with other friends' kids who are all getting so big!

The baby my roommates and I had been fostering was adopted right before Christmas! We found out the day before I left to go to the states so we were able to say goodbye to him. I am glad he is now with his forever family. We have another sweet little one who is a year old but barely 14 pounds. We are working to get him fatter and stronger. His name is Leo and he is the sweetest little boy! He smiles and laughs at everything and LOVES to go swimming. He has been so fun to be around!

We had Sports Day, or Field Day, last Friday. The kids loved it! All the teachers were exhausted afterwards but it was good. We have a long stretch without any breaks so we will see how that goes. I have enjoyed seeing how much my kids have grown in their faith and knowl
Here is little Leo swimming with my roommates.
You can't swim without a rubber ducky!
Yay! A surfing duck!
Bumbo seats also make great drums!
Look at how I can sit because I am so skinny! This was taken about two weeks ago and he is already fatter! YAY!

Moses, the weekend before he went with his family. He loved being upside down!

Three and four babies in a bed! You can tell there was a fourth one next to them. It's crazy.

I hope to post more pictures soon!
