Big girls at the block table

 Swallow and Sarah look like they are planning to build something amazing at the block table. Both these girls were so tiny and helpless when they came to us - Swallow was just a newborn, and Sarah was not much older. It's been such a joy watching them grow from little babes in arms, to big girls who can sit up at the block table and interact together.
Swallow is a chatterbox and a bookworm, who really enjoys sitting down for a quiet read. She is not a stereotypical "meek and mild" bookworm though. If her buddy Paul comes and tries to take away the book, she will claim it back very firmly! There is no pushing this girl around.
Sarah is a sweetheart. She can crawl all over the place super-fast now, and she is saying about 15 words. One of her favourites is "Bao" - asking to be picked up. Any time is cuddle time for Sarah.
 Each girl has now been matched with their own family, so the day is coming when they will be leaving us. Our part in their growing up will be finished, and it will be time for their families to enjoy all the precious moments. We are so thankful  for these darling little girls, and for the wonderful life which is waiting for them.  And we are thankful that we get to be a part of their lives too. Even though we hope their families will be here quickly, we plan to enjoy every minute we have with them!
