No baby yet!

Four days after my due date and still no baby, but it has to be soon, right? I keep telling myself patience is a virtue :-). I've been feeling fine though, besides being super tired in the afternoons. I had a checkup on Thursday and all is fine, the baby is engaged (who to, I'm not sure) so just waiting.

Had a great day yesterday, the children for HHCH finished their school year. The school put on an end-of-school program with each class doing special presentations. It was meant to start at 9am so we left the house early. Of course nothing had started but no problem sitting and waiting for an hour... pretty normal here... but by 11:30 things still hadn't kicked off, it was a little frustrating. They were waiting for the District Officer to show up. We had another program that afternoon so we had to head off so I didn't get to see any of the presentations :(. But our kids did look sooooo handsome and we are just so proud of them. All of them, besides one, will be moving forward in classes. Many of them where the top students for their class. It's really amazing to see how far they have come in such a short time.

Our beautiful children, they look so smart!

Waiting, waiting, waiting

Dorcas, Jude, and Bena, we couldn't get one of them to smile! They are friends, really!

So we rushed home, had lunch, I made snacks as we were heading to a home schooling open house at some of our missionary friends. It was a time to allow the children to display some of their work this year and give a little presentation. The four missionary homeschooling families in the city participated, it was a lot of fun and always great to get together for some good food and great fellowship. All the kids did great (from K to 11th grade) and got to ride our friend's horses at the end. All in all a great day!

We officially have 19 children that we get sponsors for, two are little toddlers who aren't in school yet. We also have two grandchildren of the Ma and Pa are at the Home; they are orphans but Ma and Pa are able to take care of them (paying school fees, feeding them etc).

The kids look so proud! Great group picture!

One question on the pony/horse rides.. Where is the lead bars and the contraption that the ponies are usually attached to so they don't run off?

Yikes-Stripes!
