If you can forgive the photography, this is a picture of one of the families we're friends with in Catandica. They have 3 children: the son, Rafiki, might be the cutest little boy I've ever seen. The lady in pink was just born 2 days before this picture was taken. Once her mom brought her home, she couldn't leave the house for an entire week! Her mom asked Lindsay and me to give her an American-ish name, so we gave her a list with about 15 names (including our Mozambican names, of course). By the time I left for the States, she had narrowed it down to Carolina (my name), Cecilia (Lindsay's name), and Elaine. When we got back, we had the moment of truth.... Elaine!
I might not be able to leave this country until there's a baby named after me, though.
