| The next time I walk out these doors, I plan on having my arms full of little boys! |
 |
| Walking down the path through the grounds of the institution, packing a backpack full of toys and snacks for our hour-long visit |
 |
| the building where my sons live |
 |
| we wait in this visiting room for around 20 minutes usually while the boys are dressed and brought out to us |
 |
| they keep the facility very clean and tidy |
 |
| I will not miss these things! Gideon cannot understand why they are not toys for him to disassemble! |
 |
| I wait breathlessly for this moment each day: Gideon kicks his legs and whoops with glee as he is wheeled into the visiting room. As soon as the chair slows down, he launches himself out of it and into my arms! |
 |
 |
| Micah is so sweet and happy to see Mama and Grandma each morning |
 |
| sharing a laugh with Grandma |
 |
| every morning Gideon looks for his juice and snack cup first thing! |
 |
| but Micah will not even think about drinking out of his sippy cup, and when I offered him this bottle . . . |
 |
| he just laughed at me and pushed it away. He won't even try to take a sip of water from me so far. He thinks it is a big joke, but I am pretty worried. Please pray that we can keep him hydrated while we travel! |
 |
| In the hallway there is some wonderful artwork on display, done by the children who live here. |

Rachelle I am so beyond happy for you and your boys! Seeing those pictures shows what love can do. I remember that visiting room so well. Please tell the director that Reagan (Veka to them) is continuing to do well.
Can Micah drink out of a regular cup? It seems like the institutionalized kids go straight from a bottle to a cup.
I'll be keeping you and your boys in my prayers as you travel!
