Pictures!

On the left is Hannah, who I talked about in an earlier post, and on the right is Ishimat. Ishimat is 3 years old and starting school for the first time tomorrow. His nickname is monster, he loves to smile like this, and Didas is his brother. You can often find him wearing brightly colored clothes, sometimes with flowers on them. This is somewhat true of all the boys though, because all the children share clothes and they don't seem to care how it looks.

This is Elijah and he's 3 years old. He's a bit of a troublemaker, but he also has the sweetest smile. It's always hard for me to understand what he's saying because he mumbles, yet somehow the other children always understand him. He's still too young for school, so he's one of the 4 little ones that will be home all day with us.

Here's Evan and Bobo... he's 10 years old and was the second child that came to live with Robert in 2006. Evan is trying to become his best friend because he has "the purest heart." He's very curious and always investigating what's going on around him. He also has an incredible smile and a contagious laugh.

Here's Didas teaching our pup, Kovy, how to skateboard. Didas is 7 years old and one of the smartest kids at the house. He's really cute, with eyelashes that go on for miles, and he's very well-behaved. He says he wanted to be a pilot when he grows up, but we think this is only because Viola, one of the older girls, has been saying for years that she wants to be a pilot.

This is where the young kids eat everyday, and in the back left you can see the kitchen where the aunties prepare the food. They also have a fire with charcoal outside where they cook most meals.

A few days ago one of our goats had a baby and he's still learning how to walk.
