Sweet Chavela has been so good to her little sisters and brother. She's always anxious to get home from school to see how they are doing.

Mom is doing great and looking good!

Below are all the babies enjoying time in their swing.

Here's the latest news from Mom:

It's a lot of work, but fun to take the babies picture - clapping, talking, look up, snapping fingers, singing, dancing just to get their attention. Alyssa is crawling, but backwards instead of forwards and very fast! Valencia rolls over both directions very well and also fast! Noah is not interested in crawling because he's just always interested in food. Anything worth eating is okay by him. Bibiana is interested and trying to crawl but hasn't done it yet. She's still the smallest among them. All four can eat, smile and hold things very well. Please keep Valencia in your prayers - she has not been as active lately as normal and appears to feel weak. She is seeing the doctor about this.

Mom and Dad send love and a big kiss to all they met in Atlanta, and a special note of love to all members of the Northlake Church of Christ.

New Highchairs, Booster Seats and Car Seats: Gifts from this wonderful Family to Northlake

Northlake Church of Christ has some special gifts from our beloved family in Nigeria. Mom and Dad graciously left the church with funds to purchase needed items. Thank you so much for the contribution of highchairs, booster chairs and car seats. They are being used! Our babies, and some guest babies used some of the much needed highchairs during our lunch time Sunday, and we are now able to transport babies and small children safely in our work with the Clarkston community. The bonding of hearts and lives between Nigeria and America continues to bless us.

Kids cruising on baby walker

All kids enjoy playing in their baby walker and are doing really great. We give God thanks always for them because not many persons in Nigeria believe all four kids will be alive. The general believe here is that multiple births come with a few deformity or the other. But praise God, in our case, all kids are doing very very well and even look bigger and healthier than some singleton. Most persons argued that each is a singleton until they see all four together. Various newspapers and magazine and even television station heard about them and has presented their stories. Many people that came around were amazed at God's wonder and many believed in God and confessed that God is great and worthy to be praised. The Kids have brought so much fame to our congregation and several persons now want to worship God in the church.

Praise God

Valencia and Alyssa has suddenly develop a special bond. They like to play together. Noah is not very playerful. What he likes is food and more food. Alyssa eats the least and rarely cry even when hungry. She can stay more than 5 hours before a meal but Noah eats every two hours. Valencia sleeps longer hours than others. Alyssa hardly sleeps. Most times, she sleeps by 2 am no matter how comfortable you try to make her feel and she wakes up first.

BABIES ENJOYING THEIR NEW MILESTONE=SITTING

All babies can now sit comfortably without support. But Valencia does better amongst them. Bibiana appears to be struggling here though but she is much stronger than you may think. Right now, only Bibiana and valencia can roll over easily while lying on their tommy. Noah, though much bigger, still can not rollover. Noah weighs about 15.85pounds, Valencia=15.62, Alyssa=15.18, and Bibiana=13.42.Noah will be undergoing a chest Xray by next week because he has been coughing for the past two months. Several antibiotics and cough syrups have been administered to no avail. He has also taken a drug called "Allergin" but that also didnt help so his pedetrician has scheduled him for an x-ray by next week. We continue to pray for him and we trust God that everything will be very ok with him. But in all these, we are grateful to God for HIS abundant blessings in our Lives and for the gift of your friendship. We miss you all so much.

This was the kids first day in church since they arrived. Many brethren were so excited to see the kids. One of the church's elder eventually prayed on thier behalf.

Aburime& Ose

It was fun carrying all four kids at once. Sure they enjoyed the fatherly touch of Ose's Dad. Soon it would be difficult to carry all four together because they are growing very fast.

May God, our lovely father keep us eternally in his arms that no one can snatch us from his hands.
