Foster Kid


We are going to have some extra company at home for a while. Last night Jani's good friend, Rachel, called to say there had been a birth of quadruplets in their small town of Arivaca. She was worried because the mother was refusing to nurse the boys. She wondered if we could foster one of the kids until it was weaned. Jani was excited and I reluctantly agreed.

Our kids are super excited and agreed to do the night feedings and change his box. They've been dragging the poor newborn around everywhere since we came home. I don't know if you have the right to name foster kids but the kids have been calling him Pecan. Here are some pictures of our foster kid. If all goes well he'll go back to his mother in six weeks.
