Memories Retained

This precious picture was taken 2 weeks after Caleb and Hannah arrived in America.

We wanted to get a picture of them in their native clothing that they arrived home to us in.

Interesting looking back at how scared and unsure Caleb looks in this picture. I wonder what what all was going on in that little mind of his. Hannah looks like a cute little cherub...you wouldn't know that that little person could scream for 2 hours straight!! A precious time of learning and growing and stretching for all of us!!

So to keep those precious moments, I decided to frame their coming home outfits for our 'Africa' room. Here is the first run at it. I still need to do some adjusting to make it all even, but so far I am happy with the outcome.

HANNAH'S

CALEB'S
Both kids were able to get into their outfits this summer (3 1/2 years after arriving home).
Caleb ripped his shirt some getting it on, and we did not even attempt the pants.
Hannah can actually still fit hers. When she came home the skirt was dragging on the floor, it is now at her knees!!!
