i'm home!

Isabelle has finally arrived to her home! It's taken a few days of adjusting to her new surroundings ... & the heat ... but she's getting used to it. The people of Ayorou are beside themselves that she is finally here & have just loved & loved on her. They call her "the Ayorou child." They have also given her a new Songhai name ... Nadia Maiga (pronounced Nah-dee-ah May-gah).


Isabelle (or Nadia) and her new friend Yacouba.


Mama & Isabelle heading out to visit friends.


Isabelle all tied up to Mama's back ... it's the African way to do things! Forget that sling!
