Sylvia fact of the day
"Sylvia can fall asleep on her own and likes to sleep on her back or her side with her fingers in her mouth. She is very friendly when she wakes up and greets you with a big smile and lots of cuddles."

"I'm bursting with God-news!" -Hannah's first exclamation after receiving the child she had been praying for, and then giving it back to the Lord. (1 Sam 2:1 - The Message Bible) -Det första Hanna sa när hon äntligen fick det barnet hon hade bett Gud om, och sedan gett det tillbaka till Herren: "Jag överflödar av Guds nyheter!" (1 Samuelsboken 2:1)

The Lorentzons
We are Niklas and Katie, the proud new parents of a baby girl, an African queen whom we met in South Africa in June 2008.
Now we're also the proud parents of another baby girl, a Zimbabwean queen whom we'll meet on May 31, 2010
Oh, and now we're also the proud parents of ANOTHER baby girl, a Xhosa princess whom we'll meet on Nov 24, 2014
Vi är Niklas och Katie, ett par som är lyckliga över sina döttrar, våra afrikanska drottningar som vi hämtade i Sydafrika i juni 2008 och 2010 och 2014.
