Hi to all of our friends and families! I figured everyone loves to look at pictures, so here are some of my favorites so far. Don't worry, I have close to 700 already, so if you want to see more, there are plenty. I'll put a little caption below each one to explain. We miss everyone back home but are having a wonderful, life-changing time over here. The peace and serenity of this beautiful little country is just what the doctor ordered (pun intended).

Our little fighter. This is the baby that Dr. and Mrs. Whitehurst wrote about in the last blog. 

These pictures are from church today, on a beautiful hill about 20 minutes away. The congregation was so warm and welcoming, and even insisted we stay for lunch and cokes. It was so heart-warming and a provided great worship. 

Sweet Brooklyn enjoying the swing.

 Beautiful Jennifer. (I'm sure this isn't helping David not miss her!)

View from our house. Amazing!

The group on the canopy walk in Nyungwe National Forest.

 Our fearless (patient) tour guide.

Obviously I can't stop taking pictures of the curls.

Sarah and William on the canopy walk.

 Hi Alana!

 Actually not as scary as it looks. 200 feet up at the highest point.

The Sarah's take Africa.

Mrs. Connie always laughing.

 Kid looks good on him, no?

Tiara at the gorgeous lodge we stopped at for tea and coffee on the way back from the forest. This place makes American hotels look weak. It was SO nice and had the most spectacular views. Behind her are the lime green tea leaves and further back, the dark green mountains with low-lying clouds. I wouldn't mind spending a night or two there.  

A panoramic of the hotel view. This picture doesn't do it justice.

Amy, Jennifer, and Steph before church.

The local kids LOVE photos, and especially seeing themselves on the screens after we take them.

Local girl. 

The group outside of the hospital, with Julie (far right), a NICU nurse (who basically functions as a neonatologist) who has lived in Kibogora for 6 years. She is our liaison and makes everything happen. Thank you, Julie!

Mean-mugging. This one was just too good to pass up.

The Baxter clan.

Stephanie bossing the boys around. She has done so much hard work in the ortho department. She is essentially acting like a 2nd year resident, taking care of patients pre- and post-op, making major management decisions, and performing big operations virtually unassisted. Get it, girl.

Dr. Gwen

Annie learning from the local doctors on medicine rounds.

Dr. Whitehurst teaching Dr. Ngoy how to perform cranial ultrasounds on newborns. 

Amy doing her thang - solo C-sections left and right.

Sunset at the house.

"Oh hey, girl!" My diva looking so fly in her phototherapy sunglasses.

Caught ya!
