Found Some Pictures

I am reading several blogs from families that are all adopting from the same orphanage, rather, "children's village" as we are. Oftentimes, they will have links to other blogs and photo albums from people who have visited Dixville. Below I will list some of those public photo albums, because upon viewing them, it gives you a better picture of what our kids' lives are like.

On January 8, 2008, Eric Zepp returned from Dixville with his two newly adopted daughters. While there, he took several pictures of Sayfou and Matterline. He also took a picture of Maddie's toe because it is hurt, but seems to be healing.

"Let me look at the camera, Sayfou!"     "Finally, I got it!" says Matterline.

Then, on another photo set of a missionary woman named Joy, I found a picture taken of Sayfou that was soon after he arrived at Dixville, sometime during the fall of 2006. Here it is:


Evidently they are fascinated with duct tape! You can see they used it liberally to fix their beach ball!

Then, when Dan and Angel Rutledge went to pick up their daughter "little" Angel, they took the following pictures of Sayfou and his buds. A family at our church donated the soccer jerseys they are so proudly wearing!!!


It looks like Sayfou might have a handheld electronic game.
The very proud recipients of brand-new soccer jerseys! Note: Sayfou is the tallest one in the back.

Here are some links for you to view other pictures and/or read other blogs of folks connected to Dixville.

    Hi Dave and Ellen,
    Todd W sent me the link to your blog and I am very excited to read what God in doing your family. I think you are taking this notion of caring for orphans a little too serious! Here is a link that will give you some info on our latest addition: http://www.active.com/donate/2008WalkOfLove/dattuhoover. When i was at the grocery store the other day someone asked if i was with a group home? My answer to those questions was always no, but lately i decided that yes we do run a group home. And what a group! I am sure we could employ Dave full time. May God bless you richly.
