Baby Picture Sunday

The theme this week is Easter Sunday!

Until there are new pictures from today, here are a few Easter Sunday pictures from past years!

Easter 2005

Lunch after church at the home of our great friends and fellow home directors Jonathan & Linda Baker & family (Bolivian Youth Ministries)

Easter 2008

Sister and brother check out their easter eggs

A couple of girls on the see-saw during the egg hunt

Stay tuned for more pictures later!!

Baby Picture Sunday....and 100th Post!

This week the theme at Who Says 8 Is Enough? is LOVE. Wish I had the time to go through all my pictures (well not ALL...that would take days and days!!) and search for the cutest, but for now I'll put up this one, always one of my favorites!

And our little Bolivian is being kissed by a KIWI, no less!
(but the shirt is from Ireland, how cool is that?)

Hey, this is also my 100th Post, wow!! That arrived fast. Now off to make some cookies quickly for tonight's volunteer fellowship...

Baby Picture Sunday: Black & White

Joining in "Baby Picture Sunday" at "Who Says Eight is Enough?"!

Twins G & G when they were almost 2 months


Twins E & E on an outing to pick up my sister from horse-back riding


Snack time! Emma and the twins (13 months)

Three newborns during the "baby flood" of August 2008


With my baby E a few weeks after he arrived, September 2008


My baby J, sacked out on my lap while I work.
I love it when they are small enough to fit there....although I'm tall enough and they are small enough (genetics!) that they usually fit there for quite a while. :-)

Baby Picture Sunday

This week's theme for "Baby Picture Sunday" at "Who Says Eight is Enough?" is Christmas Morning.

Christmas 2004 (just two little boys in this picture, and folks, that was half of the kids at that point!)

Christmas 2005, Baby Home (well, the only home we had at that point)


Christmas 2006, Baby Home

(See sleeping baby A's gifts?)

Big sister lends a hand to sleeping beauty

Christmas 2006, Hogar de Amor II

Christmas 2007, the initial rush on gifts at Hogar de Amor II!

And finishing with (another) favorite from last year, from the second floor balcony at the Baby Home!

Christmas 2007

Baby Picture Sunday

This week's theme at "Who Says Eight is Enough?" is "Peace on Earth".

Maybe it's the number of babies and toddlers I live with, but nothing says "peace" to me better than SLEEP....

Baby E, at 9 months old

Baby J, 1 month

Baby S at a few months, now adopted



Baby J again, 1 month

Baby V, a few days old in 2006, now adopted

Babies G & G, at almost 2 months

Ummm....makes one tired just seeing all those shut eyes! So before I fall asleep looking at four years worth of oh-so-cute baby pictures and reminiscing, better get back to addressing Christmas card envelopes for the friends at church. :-)

Baby Picture Sunday

Taking up the invitation at "Who Says Eight is Enough?", here we go again this week!

December 24, 2007

Can't resist showing the "behind the scenes picture" which some smart person thought of taking (my Dad?). Cracks me up every time I see it! (This ain't easy, folks.)

What memories will Christmas 2008 bring.....

Baby Picture Sunday

I've never participated in these things (this one hosted by "Who Says 8 is Enough?") but couldn't resist this time since I have sooo many cute Christmas pictures.

The theme this week is "wrapped in holiday cheer". Maybe these babies are wrapped in holiday cheer (a loving hug)?

Christmas Eve 2007

Or maybe I could go "counter theme", hehe, with a few NOT so cheery pics....

This one always makes me grin...I know, cruel, but it's not very realistic to never take pictures when they're crying, now is it? Gotta note the bib caption, too.

Christmas Day 2005

By the way, we just got post-adoption pictures from France of this baby and WHAT A CUTE LITTLE GIRL!! All the changes of clothes were so worth it (two words: reflux deluxe!!).

To be fair, one of her not screaming:

And even another (although we're not looking exactly cheerful):

Ohh, I can just HEAR the screams here!!

December 2007

A cheery one to end on, also from Christmas 2005:

Okay I could go on and on, but I'll leave it there and wait till next week when I REALLY have the theme wrapped up since we have the tradition to dress the Baby Home in red at Christmas. So check back next Sunday to be seeing in RED!
