New Pictures and a Quick Update (by Thom)

We've had some complaints lately (mostly from my mom) that there haven't been enough new pictures of Miriam and Hannah. Well, I've added several new ones tonight. You can see them here.
It's been a while since we've written much about the twins. Rest assured, they're doing wonderful. They are now just shy of 15 months old and very healthy. Hannah's milk allergy has completely disappeared (Praise the Lord!!!). Both girls are running, not walking, everywhere and they are little explorers. Their looks keep getting more similar but their personalities are night-and-day different. Miri loves to do things and is very active. Hannah wants to wait and observe and is more reserved. There's no doubt that they are handfuls but we love them and they are a constant source of joy for us. We also get great feedback from Malians who are so touched that we brought two of their own into our family. We were brave (foolish?) enough to go to a restaurant last week and the staff just fawned over the girls, watched them dance on the floor to the music on the stereo, and gave them cookies! The Lord has certainly blessed us all.
