Pics of the week: baths, buckets, and braiding

A typical Saturday afternoon might include bathtime for all the littles all at once. Derick, our youngest, is actually small enough to be carried by even the younger children, and all enjoy it immensely. In January, our primary students all joined an English medium school, which is exciting in and of itself. However, even more exciting for the girls is that St. Jude allows them to have long hair, which is something not allowed at government schools. Recently they've been furiously pulling and willing their hair longer, and have obtained some yarn that can be braided together with the existing hair to weave while it's in the in between stages. Afternoons and especially weekends recently have include major salon sessions among the middle school ladies. Every day is different here, but they're all good...we thank God for His mercies that come new every morning.
