New Year's Eve

It has been a freezing winter down here in   Florida, and a lot of our children are out with colds.  But, here is Kenadie, Jasmine and Julian enjoying one fairly warm day. We pray for all those who have been caught in the blizzard up North.

Christmas 2012 Photo Update

We took some cute pictures today of  the group, including two sibling sisters who will be starting  in January, 2011. 

 Here is  Julian Jonah, who  is Ms. Rachel's son.

Her  is Abigayle Faith

We took some  cute pictures today of  the group, including two sibling sisters who will be starting  in January, 2011. On the  left is Tristan, just  nine months old. He is a very happy baby and loves  to eat.
Just below here, we have  our little superstar, Sophia, who is an  animated and   spunky girl.

Here is Dominic, below, just 2 and a half, who wants to be a football  plaayer, when he  grows up. He's already very handsome.

Here are two sisters, Shanique, 2, above, and  her  little 2 month old sister, Angelique. I couldn't seem to get Shanique  to smile, since  she was so surprised to be looking at herself  in the video of the computer.

Jasmine's 6th Birthday

She says she "turns by 6", so, she's really excited about this and she's getting a Barbie Cadillac that she can drive in with her  friends. At the party, I was surprised to see that the children were  driving it in the backyard without any problem. When they did bump into a tree, they just stopped. There were no accidents, as I thought

there might be. They were cruising at about one mile an hour!!!

She also had a big bouncer and the theme was "tinkerbell" and all the kids had a blast.

Boy's Day at The Civic Center

Miss Rachel took Dominic and Julian for a morning of delightful activities before Thanksgiving. Of course, there were plenty of activities about the Pilgrims and the Indians. And here they are!!! They are getting to be  good friends, and, as typical bous, they like to chase each other around a lot.

Sophia's Birthday October 29: First Birthday!!!

We were so lucky to find little Sophia. She is such a
cutie-pie, always smiling. Personally I think she will
become something of an international celebrity, since
she has family from Columbia and Argentina, and she has one of the most engaging personalities we've seen.She even likes to watch Starfall on the computer and dances along with the music.

Our Birthday Crew

Derek's Birthday (August)

Derek is one happy kid. Always smiling. Cheerful kid. Happy-go-lucky. He was even happier when we had his birthday party here and I heard that his Grandpa gave him a new tricycle. He even likes to swim now, of course, with a vest. He's also one happy eater, and, whenever there is talk of cooking, he will pull himself right up to the table. He's officially two years old.

Birthday's in July: Miss Rachel, Abigayle, & Kenadie (3 Angels)

What a fun month for us!!!! Abigayle and Kenadie both turned 3...And they are turning into great friends. Abigayle is her usual spiffy, flashy, yet gentle self; quick to laugh and make a joke. Kenadie is turning out to be quite a runner and has even decided to try out swimming. Miss Rachel, of course, had a quiet birthday this year. She's not telling what year she was born.

Princess Tea Parties

Occasionally, Miss Rachel will take a couple of the young "princesses" over to the Port St. Lucie Civic Center, where they have a Princess Tea Party. Of course, with parents' permission. Sometimes our little Princes will tag along too. Here is our dear little Abigayle with a pretty painted face, returning after a frolicking time.

Summertime & Swimming

Everyone is all hyped up about swimming. We had such a cool winter and Spring. We want to make sure that we have all our safety equipment and hygiene set to go, so that we all have a fun time. After a while, no one seemed to want to use the small pool. We didn't want to rush any one, so everyone just took their time, if they were a little phobic.

Bunny Time!!!!

Happy Easter and Happy Passover to all. The children are excited to make the cute bunnies and chickies. They're also finding more about our little chrysallis now forming from the caterpillars. Soon they'll be butterflies.
One African dwarf frog is still with us, although one went to the Big Frog Heaven Beyond.

Today was a big cooking adventure for the children and they decorated chocolate chip cookies with creamy strawberry frosting and sprinkles.

Playground Updated!!

Ms. Rachel decided to brighten up the playhouse. so, she and Johan were very busy for a few weekends. The kids love it. What do you think? We think it's a lot safer and brighter.
