Life As Usual in Mokhotlong...

Not much new to report in Mokhotlong, we've been going to the hospital and hanging out with the kiddos as usual. The little twin, Tsepang, who we picked up last week does have TB and is about to start treatment, but is otherwise doing well. I got to see the triplets (who were brought in last week after their 17 year old mom gave birth to them at home--she was quite surprised to see 3 babies!). They're all great and gaining weight appropriately. They'll be going home with their mom soon and we will follow them weekly and provide formula and other nutritional support as needed.
On Monday, we picked up another volunteer, Kat, who is a doctor from the UK. She is fantastic and we are enjoying getting to know her and hearing all the charming Brit phrases she uses. Today, she asked if I would "fancy a walk," and also told me about eating "eggy toast," which is what they call French toast. I have asked her loads of questions about the royal family, and havent used any charming american phrases. I must seem terribly dull, I'll have to step things up. I am starting to feel very worldly here, I have a friend who lives in India but is here for a year and speaks Sesotho (Lyle), a Canadian friend (Rachel), and a British friend (Kat), and some very exciting American friends (I found out today Julie is practically a world class sugar cookie baker, and professionally decorates and sells them and gives the money to charity). Seriously. Cool. People. So glad I came and had a chance to meet them all.
I haven't taken many pics lately, so I'll leave you with a few of the cute kids we see everyday. I'm hoping to get some better ones..they are totally adorable and have these priceless facial expressions, but the moment I take out the camera they become little animals lunging for the camera. I'll have to get sneaky to get more candid shots soon.
Miss everyone at home! Looking forward to seeing most of you in at least the next few months.

Ps Julie made a great video to celebrate our 1000th TTL baby, that I think is really great (quick) summary of what we do at TTL. If you'd like to see it, or read the TTL blog (which also features a picture of Tiana and myself on a recent post), here is the link: http://touchingtinylives.blogspot.com/2012/04/as-we-continue-to-celebrate-1000.html?m=1
