I have had little munchkins in my house since last Tuesday. I know this because the cereal is gone, there are Crayola's on every table, and I woke up in a wet bed Saturday morning. Apparently a munchkin got in my bed Friday night. Three little girls and a beautiful 4 month old baby boy have been mine for a few days. Their 2 year old little sister was accidentally struck by a car on Tuesday. We really didn't know them very well. You see Jessica, the mom, doesn't have "papers" and doesn't speak English very well. They are an inner city family that has fallen through the cracks, barely getting by. Jessica has to be a terrific mom, though. Her children are devoted to her and are polite and loving. Baby Niki will be fine. She is to be released from the hospital today. I will never forget the days I was allowed to spend with these children, and my staff won't either. Karla and Shanna taught the older girls beading, we now have new recruits! And baby Fernando was loved on and fell asleep in Karla's arms. There is nothing more relaxing than holding a soft, squishy, SLEEPING four-month-old baby. These kids will always have their mom, but now they have a large "extended" family.

@Farida - I have a hard time receiving compliments like this...it is not about me. I am just the vehicle. But I do appreciate your warmth reception. We do have overflowing hearts, and I tend to want to help everyone. These children, though, are so very special. Their lives could go in so many different directions. I have found myself totally in love with them and will do my very best to see that they have a chance. Thank you for your support!
