Bonita Babies

It is a bonita day! The sun is shining and the breeze is spring like. As I am writing, our young men are shoveling dirt/sand into buckets and lifting them fifteen feet on to a terrace and they started singing "O-E-O" from the Wizard of Oz. Most of the ladies, left the orphanage at 10:00 and are now white washing walls or painting black iron fences.
We are taking shifts at the orphanage. I have never been to an orphanage before, it is better than I expected. The babies have big cheeks(well feed), big brown eyes, and are very clean. The "mamas" the ladies that take care of the babies are amazing. Our team laughs because the "mamas" can feed 4babies to our 1. There is a definite rountine and we try to stay out of the way. The mamas don't want us to change pants and we really do not have a problem with that!
Our orphan team feeds, plays with, and pick up the crying ones.
Jose is one with black curly hair(he could be a Pilon). He is "grande" and I envision him in the NFL. Maria is two and sharp. I asked her "Como te llama?" and she could tell me each 2 year olds name. I noticed when someone enters the orphanage she says, "Holla" and I've caught her saying "hi" and repeating my English. Jennifer is a beautiful brown eyed, brown hair two year old. There are so many to mention and each one God knows. Pray that the 15 without parents will have parents and that the government will allow the adoptions to go through.
