One thing that happened today is a new update! We love those! Many volunteers have come to GLA this summer already and many more are scheduled. Seven children have been united with their families in the past month. This is great for the kids, as it helps them developmentally to have some individual attention.
Jude is getting a little more confident in his walking and has become more willing to walk. He's become strong enough to go outside of the orphanage for short periods of time and the rough terrain has been good for his balance. Getting outside the orphanage, he's now seen trees and mountains from ground level, and has seen cars and non-orphanage-related people and animals other than the orphanage dog for the first time.
Oh yeah - and we just go word that he's a real cuddler...you just have to love that.
This month marks the end of the rainy season, so everything is lush and in bloom. Therefore the theme is flowers, including Haiti's best flowers of all - the children of GLA. Oh...the cheeks...the eyes...the cuteness!
