Baby Shower for your Anniversary, why not?!

My Altoids warn me that they're not for the faint of tongue, blowing up 500 balloons to make two balloon arches and three balloon pineapples should have a similar warning. But like with Altoids, totally worth it of course. Today, we threw a baby shower for six babies; an unusual party, but we're not in the habit of doing many things the usual way here.
Judah Quy, the home of the precious little ones, just completed its first year of life and to celebrate we invited 200 of its closest friends over to honor the workers and eat some cake!
Turns out you can have piñatas personalized for special events such as this, Paul is holding up the evidence below.
Also, turns out piñatas personalized for baby showers come filled with baby powder. I would recommend asking them to leave out that little surprise if you're going to order one for your next special occasion.
Kristin, ever humble and unassuming, was afraid it might be presumptuous to put out a baby's crib to hold the baby shower gifts, as someone recommended. But the generosity of all the guests, in the form of diapers, formula, batteries, vitamins, clothes and the like, filled the crib to overflowing and our hearts with gratitude.
Here's a video of the babies growing up very loved their first year at Judah Quy, the pictures tell the story much better than my words can. Thank you for all your support, prayers, and generosity. If you're interested in sponsoring one of the precious little ones, or a "mom" that works at the home, please let me know.

God said, "I will protect the orphans who remain among you." -Jeremiah 49:11

You all are really doing God's work down there. And Angie is learning to be a servant, which seems to come very naturally to her!
