This is Mama Susan...she is the biggest character in all of Uganda. She is the resident grandma here at Amani and makes us laugh everyday. She is usually seen in her "I love Jesus" baseball cap, 1982 winter sweaters or her MC Hammer pants. She walks around the compound shaking her head in disgust and says some pretty hilarious things. Here she is enjoying her lunch one Sunday afternoon. When I asked her to smile for this picture, she replied, "retired's don't smile" and then cracked up!

Rachel,
Your pictures are amazing as are the stories behind them. You are both truly "guardian angels" for each on of your children. Thank you for all you do.
I hope you will post a note/pictures when your Mom and Dad arrive. We are anxious to know they arrived safely. I can only imagine their excitement to experience in person what you do.
Love and prayers always,
Cindy Wiedewitsch
Hello! My name is Janet and we are in the process of adopting two little ones from Jinja! A friend sent me to your blog, and I will be going back and reading EVERY last entry before we travel! I am so excited to see all your pictures and hear your stories! Thank you so much for writing!
Hi girls,
I hope you're having fun with your Mom and Dad there with you. I can't believe they are really there! I am so envious. I would love to see the country and all the kids I feel like I get to know through your stories and pictures. I can't sign on to their blog for some reason so tell them I said hi too.
Love to all,
Auntie Joanie
That picture of Mama Susan is stinkin' hilarious! She looks like a Queen! I miss her and everyone at Amani and haven't had many spare moments for following your blog, but I just got caught up tonight and loved every picture and story. I would have loved to be there for the Christmas festivities. You ladies are amazing! Keep writing, and we'll be checking in. Chloe is talking up a storm and keeping Noah in line all day! Noah is either getting into something or wanting to be held. He's constant motion unless he's asleep. We love them so much and can hardly believe we've just been back six weeks. We're praying for you both. Send our love to everyone at Amani.
