Orphanage Pics

These are some of my great friends here in Guadalajara. These girls were so happy to have their room decorated. For Christmas, the consulate is having a fundraiser to provide them all with sheets and pillows for their beds.
Sullivan was surprisingly happy while we were there with the other kids. He just demanded all-you-can-eat animal crackers.
This little guy in the middle is about the size of a 6-month old, but he's actually 4 years old. He was born with Hydrocephaly, which has slowed his growth and development. He has the most docile disposition and has actually started to cruise around the furniture, so he's making progress. He melts my heart like you can't believe and I seriously want to snatch him up and take him home!
These were the youngest kids. They're all 1 and 2 years old. They were absolutely hilarious while they ate breakfast. Don't you just want to hug and squeeze them all??
