Whom does she look like?

Misha

Zarya

Andrew

So, does she look like her mama or her baba? ("Baba" is father in Swahili and "mama" is mother, and we've chosen those names for Zarya to call us.) Judging by looking at us as adults, thus far just about everyone says Zarya looks like Andrew. We think her mouth looks a bit like mine (especially when she's whining and sticks out her lower lip, in Andrew's opinion, which I don't think is a compliment to me...), and something about her eyes looks like Andrew. Andrew thinks she looks like his sister Katie, but since I've never seen baby pictures of Katie, I can't really say much on that matter. Today we looked at baby pictures of ourselves and now I think she really does look like her daddy! Too bad we don't have color pictures of Andrew as a baby, but he's so old that they didn't have color photography back then.

What do you think? Do you see family resemblance?

About Me

I grew up as a homeschooler in Washington State, doing a lot of reading and swimming. I thought going far away for college sounded fun, so attended Hope College in Holland, Michigan. While at Hope, I realized God was calling me to missions, specifically Bible translation. My next step was the Canada Institute of Linguistics at Trinity Western University in Langley, British Columbia. A few months after graduation, I was on a plane to Tanzania as a missionary with Wycliffe Bible Translators. Two years into that venture I met my husband, who quit his job and moved to Africa with me. Four years and two kids later, we are on a new adventure - living in Pennsylvania.
