Teeny Tiny Kids

I happened on pictures from our last couple of years in Gabon today, and I couldn't resist putting these up.  This first one was in the hotel pool close to the apartment we lived in the year before moving to Nice. 

There are lots of pictures of the Anna playing at the beach. She loved the sand and the water. That look of concentration and the cheeks is the same in the next one...

The chubby little arms, the curls, the cheeks...sigh. I like seeing my kids grow up, but still...

 This is on our balcony right before digging into Anna's chocolate birthday cake. I pretty sure this is a, "Mom, do we have to take a picture?" picture. I have none with Anna giving me that look, probably because we got the digital camera right before traveling to Colombia for her adoption. So, she was very used to me taking pictures ALL the time (those curls, I couldn't resist).

This is my favorite Anna picture from this time period. We were in the middle of Gabon at Bongolo Hospital, which is a story to tell another time. She's soooooooooo winsome, and I love the very big curls.

I think this is the first picture of Justin taking a picture of himself. The beginning of a long Harris kid tradition.

I'll end with this one taken in Nice, a year before our move here. We visited the summer before to have a look around, and we decided we liked it.

I'm going to have my first (and perhaps last) blog contest this week. It will involve a book, a question, and a number. Stay tuned...
