We are having twins!  Not really, but kind of, let me explain.  This week we were approached by the sisters to see if we would be willing to house a set of twins who just came to the hostile during winter break.  They are 20 months old, severely malnourished and at the developmental level of an 8-10 month old.  They aren’t crawling or walking, hardly make any noises and I have only seen them make one facial expression…a blank stare.  Every once in awhile one of them might start to break a smile.  From August 12-September 13 the schools take a winter break which means the kids at the hostile return to their homesteads (we run a different child care model than most.  We are not an orphanage so the kids still maintain ties with their families and homesteads).  The twins we will be taking in just arrived at the hostile three weeks ago and we want to continue progress that has been made while they have been in our care.  This will be a huge transition for everyone in our family, but we are all on board.  Mikayla is even excited about the babies coming to stay with us for awhile!  We will see how that goes once they arrive.  I am not sure of all the details yet, but I do know that this is happening!  I am looking forward to working with them one-on-one (or maybe two-on-one or three-on-one depending on how you look at it) and seeing them grow and develop in the few short weeks they will be living with us!
