All grown up!

Tomorrow marks six months living in Rwanda, and almost 5 years since I first set foot in this beautiful country.  Here are some photos of some of the kids from New Hope five years ago, and now, all grown up.  Enjoy!

Ingabire, as a baby.  She was a big drooler!

Ingabire, 5 years old.  She's lost the drooling habit.  She's always sneaking up behind me and braiding my hair instead these days.

                         

Ariane, carrot eater in 2007, almost 1 year-old.  

The wonderful, goofy almost 6-year old Ariane just a few weeks ago.  She is a constant source of laughter.  And always on the move.

Dorcas stole my heart 5 years ago. Look at her cute little chubby face!

Now she is a smart, observant 5 (maybe 6?) year old.  We still share a pretty special bond. Love this girl to pieces.
