Some of Amy's favorite art work

Infant Crisis Services has an automatic feel of comfort when you walk in the door. There is playful, bright artwork all around the building. Every corner you turn has something new. Here are a few of my favorite pieces.

This is painting is part of three. Within the painting our Infant Crisis Services core values: Compassion, Love, Kindness and Respect. This was done by Ty Kelley.

Mobile in the playroom was made by the Junkyard Daddies.

Most of the artwork at Infant Crisis Services is done by local Oklahoma artists, but the cow is from California.

Monday's toddler is Jo Jo

Monday's baby of the day is actually a toddler. Pictured below is 24-month-old Jo Jo. He was all about having his picture taken and hamming it up in front of the camera, but right when the flash would go off he would stop smiling. Too bad because he had such an adorable smile you couldn't help but smile back.

Jo Jo enjoyed all areas of the playroom. He started off on the horses. Dragging them one by one until he found the perfect spot to hop on for a ride. He then moved to the kitchen were he snacked on toy apples, bananas and pears.

Monday's Baby Heaven

Heaven is not even 10 months old yet and she is already a pretty good walker. She still needs some assistance, but she is fast. She is going to keep her mommy on her toes before long.

First moblie unit outing

There are really no words to explain the lose in Harrah from the tornado. It is great Infant Crisis Services can go to the people who have been hit with such devastation. The mobile unit is going to be a blessing for families who need formula, food and diapers for their babies. Even a package of wipes to clean their babies face. The mobile unit is really going to make a difference and help people who need have be hit with acts of nature.

A Macy's Bag

When a client comes in for our services they receive food, formula and diapers, but they also get to shop in the clothing room for clothing, onsies, shoes, etc. The volunteer than bag these items for the clients to carry to their car.
Yesterday, a volunteer was smoothing out a Wal-mart bag and a Macy's bag. A woman, who was about to get her things bagged, asked the volunteer if she could have the Macy's bag because she never gets to shop there.
This made me think about how many times I have carried a bag out of Macy's not thinking about the bag, but the items it contained. How the little things I take for granted mean so much to someone else.
I asked around the office what some of our employees take for granted: running water, soap, health, a bed. What do you take for granted?

Monday's babies, TWINS!

Three-year-old twins Wendy and Brian were exploring all over the playroom. Brian was the mischievous one while Wendy was a girl's girl helping her mom pick out her shoes.

Three-month-old twins Deliverene and DeJohn. We put them in a crib together to get this picture and DeJohn kept rolling closer and closer to his sister.
