I love moments like these.

This little guy has the biggest mouth I have ever seen on a baby! He loves to open it all the time, especially when you "throw" him in the air! It's so cute! I will miss him so much when I leave!

Our newest baby girl... Yi Ting. She's already a little spoiled. She knows she's cute and she expects to be treated like a princess!

This is our newest baby. His name is Jackson. He's a real sweetie. He rarely fusses, pretty much only when he's hungry or needs his diaper changed.

And this is Kai... this is a typical look for Kai. I probably made some stupid comment before snapping the picture and he was rolling his eyes at me. He thinks he is ruler of the universe and he's not quite sure who he approves of yet.

His expressions are hilarious and adorable. We call him our "little old man". He acts so grown up!

Here are some random pictures inspired by random moments.

This is the oven mitt that Jessica and I created. She originally tried to remove something from the oven with a single mitt only to find out that it wasn't thick enough! So, she put 3 together and this is what it looked like. Random things happen like this at 3:30am. It's the effects of sleep deprivation, no sun, and 14 babies.

Twice, someone has donated freshly squeezed orange juice to the orphanage. It was soooooo good! Waaaay better than anything I've tasted in the States. Mmm, I wish I had some right now!

This is Hsi Ya, nicknamed "Ducky" by Megan, a fellow volunteer. Jessica and I sometimes call him "Yucky Ducky" because he likes to do this. (notice that the collar of my shirt has white stuff) But we still love him of course. See, I'm still smiling!

I pretty much think this is the cutest bottle in the bunch.

This picture was taken about a week ago so we now have one less bottle since one of our babies went home to the States. But that's still a lot of babies to feed!

This is Gavin Pan. He is going in for heart surgery at 10pm Wednesday (Central time). Please pray that everything goes smoothly and there are no complications. We want him to come home as soon as possible!!! We miss his smile and giggle.

The other morning I decided to go to the end room upstairs that overlooks the side of the mountain to do my devotions. This is what greeted me at about 6:30am. It was beautiful! I have never been a morning person but after working nights for over 6 weeks straight, I think I will love morning!!

About 30 minutes later the sky turned into this, also beautiful! God is pretty awesome!

Then I watched the school children get ready to leave for school. One by on they realized I was out on the balcony with a camera and they waved and shouted "Zao An"... "Good Morning".

Then I went back inside to read and write for awhile. A perfect end to my "day".

This is my boy. There is not another baby in the entire world that I love more than him. My world here revolves around this little face. His smile brings a smile to my face even when I'm sad or upset. His giggle... the BEST! I laugh out loud when I hear it!

The way he holds my finger against his bottle during morning feeding time and cuddles up to me melts my heart...everytime.

I have 4 weeks left to make all the memories I can with him... it's not enough time but I'm thankful for it.

I love you buddy!

Micah... We will miss your sweet face, your smile, your talking, your beautiful eyes, your little teddy bear "Hi Micah, I love you! I love you Micah!" :)

5:00am feeding felt weird this morning without you there to throw up all over me!!

I know you've gone to a GREAT family, your parents are really awesome and you're gonna have so much fun living in Colorado!

Thanks for being a part of my life!! I love you!

Karson left with his parents for his home in Amarillo Texas, on Friday, October 9. I miss him already. He was one of my favorites... just look at that face. Sure there were times he was frustrating but compared to some of the others he was an angel!

I miss him most at feeding time. He and I used to have a talk every night before he got his bottle. I would tell him how it was almost bedtime and that it would go so much smoother for everyone if he just drank his bottle right down instead of playing around like he always liked to do. Sometimes the talk worked, sometimes it didn't. But I guess he knew best because he rarely woke up in the middle of the night crying.

Karson... grow big and strong and love Jesus. I'll always remember my month with you.
