Catching up...

So it has been awhile...but I was understandably busy!  Benjamin is now six weeks old!  The last month has been a blast!  Here are some highlights:

Benjamin meeting his Aunt!

Benjamin meeting Grandma!

Benjamin's first trip to town (Kigali's Bourbon Coffee, comparable to Starbucks)...he slep through the whole thing :)

First Sunday back at our church after having the baby.  Here we are giving thanks and introducing Benjamin to his church family!

Little family photo shoot (Thanks to my sister for taking the pics!)

Benjamin meeting Kirenga!  He is the son of Jessica and Kalisa (our good friends).  We already informed the boys that they WILL be best friends :)

Attracting a crowd at the market (and everywhere else we go for that matter!)

Setting up the Hands For Hope Shop!

My sister, Angela, meeting with the women making jewelry with Hands For Hope.

Great meeting with all the women (sewing and Jewelry) involved in Hands For Hope

Lots of shopping trips to get all the supplies and materials needed for the shop!

The sewing school well under way!

Jewelry making!

And one cute little boy who is growing up too fast! 

It has been a great and very busy month and a half since Benjamin was born.  I am so blessed that my mom and my sister were able to be here about ten days after he was born.  Angela stayed with us for two weeks and my mom stayed for three.  They were both such a huge help!  We worked hard to get the Hands For Hope project off and running while Angela was here (using the funds that she raised thanks to all of you who bought and ate chicken bbq!).  We had lots of fun times and great memories!  God is so good!
