If you know me at all, you know that I am absolutely crazy about my two nieces and one nephew. They definitely hold my heart in their hands and have been my only cause for even the slightest bit of homesickness (sorry Mom!). So, I have had to adopt some stand-ins here in Rwanda. I have this group of little ones, mostly who are children of the staff at school, who call me Auntie Anna. They can't understand a word I am saying, but they love me just like I am their own aunt:) Here are some pictures of my precious little ones…..I had to share their beautiful faces.
Here are twins Renee and Elena. Their father is the Assistant Chaplain at Sonrise. One or both of them come to sit on my lap every Sunday at church.
Sweet Lynette....her mom is a teacher at Sonrise.
More twins! Sonia and Dixon....they are the children of my housekeeper, Jackie. Sonia is still not quite sure about me, but Dixon loves me!

ReplyDeleteAnna,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are having an amazing time over there! I love your "stand-in nieces & nephews" they are SO precious!! Anyways, just wanted to say hi & that I wished you could have been here this week while I was helping Kristin & your mom & her mom with wedding invitations. We've been having fun chatting & addressing. Hope you have a safe trip home in a few months for the weddings.
