Birthdays! (by Thom)

In just a few short days we will celebrate Miriam and Hannah's first birthday! They were born July 10th, 2006 in a remote area in the Segou Region of Mali. In honor of the occasion, we're going to highlight a few of our favorite pictures of the girls from their first year over the next few days. (As always, you can see these and many others at our picture pages: http://www.mcmali.com/photos/) These pictures all came from July and August 2006:
