Babies!

Last month Nathan told us something very exciting – that he has a baby! She was born on 23rd February. One Friday night Nathan told us and the following day, we went to Gisenyi where she lives with her mother, Christine, and Nelson and Solange (Nathan’s brother and sister-in-law) to visit her. Unfortunately Nathan couldn’t come with us because of a university convention he was to lead in Kigali, but the second time we went, he introduced us officially! She is an absolutely gorgeous baby, and still ever so small. She is called Rulinda Kanyana Nancy (after Pam’s Mum) I thought you might like to see a photo of her (she has Nathan’s eyes!):

And whilst I’m showing you baby photos – these are Nelson and Solange’s little girls – Mercy, the oldest, and Melissa.

Mercy is great fun to play with and absolutely loves the water. She learnt all our names when we were in the car and she was sat on my lap – she is much more talkative than when we last saw her. She has always known how to say “Pam” but it was so cute when she said “Emma”! And just to complete the collection, this is the other baby we were introduced to recently – he is Johnson's (Nathan’s brother) son, called Joshua:

So, you can see that despite there being a lack of babies at Tubakunde for the time being, there is certainly no lack of babies in the vicinity!
