Whew, what a week.

Hello Friends

This is a leaf Doninique found the other day.
It made me feel like saying to the leaf "I know the feeling pal."

Some weeks just make your head spin.

This week was all a frenzy: Mom and Zoe were away for 3 days on a conference that will hopefully open some new avenues for funding and the Nursery was a hub of activity as everything got packed up and made ready for the volunteer weekend.

Those of you who have been around at such a time will know how it's like having 2 streams of business going on: The regular work of caring for the babies - where you can't afford to skip a beat AND the work of packing bags for everyone who is going away ~ that means 35 labelled bags of baby stuff all packed for the individual! A massive job and we THANK THE LORD for our beloved ANNE who does such an amazing amount of work in preparation for this!

An added level of the chaos was that we planned a pretty "Major" repaint of the Nursery and Praise God we have a special Group of 7 wonderful young people from the Mennonite Missions community that are here to help with a repaint/ renovation of the Nursery while everyone is away. 

We got the Paint sponsored by TLC UK! Thanks guys!

We moved everything out of the Nursery...whew!

Thanks to the MMC Group who always have smiles on their faces!

The Nest Cribs getting some sun for a change!

So they are all still busy painting as we "speak".

Some other things that have gone on this week ...

We had another birth! This little Bull was born on Monday.

Our Main Cook, Minah, is on 2 weeks leave so I am in the kitchen ~ a place that I love :-)
And God loves too .... just look what he sent me while peeling potatos!

The kids are on school holidays so here are a few "helping" rake the ever falling leaves outside the kitchen. Plenty others were inside peeling and chopping and generally trying to be helpful ~ it was quite pleasant but I didn't have time to take any photos!

And through all of this we are reminded so beautifully how despite cash flow issues, God truly is the supplier of "Our Daily Bread" ... and in this case our daily vegetables (Thank You Fruit Spot Wynberg).

Please remember to check our Main TLC website often for updates of things we could use help with and please encourage friends and family members to Adopt-A-Cot :-)

Keep us all in your prayers, as always the Blessings go hand in hand with the Struggles.

We Love You All
