Now, unfortunately, I can't give you names :( But that's okay because I can just give them assigned names! So girl #1 is called "Sweetie Pie." She is going first because we just celebrated her first birthday at the home!!!
Sweetie pie has earned her name! She's as sweet as a pie and as cute as a button! She has a really swell smile. She's just now learning to walk and will hold my hands and walk around the room. Sweetie pie loves to play "Patty Cake" and claps her hands along with me whenever I sing it! She also has the cutest little chubby legs!
Sweetie pie just turned 1 on Tuesday and we had lots of fun throwing her a Lady Bug birthday party!!!
Despite not feeling well and having sick kids of her own, Heather worked so hard to make this first birthday party special! She made a lady bug cake and lots of lady bug themed snacks :)
Blowing out her candles :)
The man holding Sweetie Pie is her daddy. He loves her very much and comes to visit her every single week. He thanked us that so many people from our church would celebrate her life. What a cool testimony! When we do what God says and care for the little ones others take note!
Some of the guests :))))

Lerato and Me!
Lerato is a sweet friendship I've made here! She and her husband had dinner with us for one of my first nights here, she volunteers at the home twice a week, and when I'm not working I attend her and her husband's cell group (like care groups at home)!
It took some work....
But we got it! Love this little cutie!
The birthday party was lots of fun. It was really cool to see the church come together and celebrate the life of this little girl! God cares for her so much and I'm honored to witness God's family showing His love. Pray for Sweetie Pie! Pray that she'd become clearly adoptable and be adopted into the perfect forever family!
