Mother Belle and Mini Belle(Matu)





So this summer while in Haiti I got to see something so great it made my heart smile everyday... Belle and Matu... let's just say that when Matu wasn't hanging off my hip you could more then likely find her on Belle's. Belle would do everything from pick out Matu's clothes for the day to making sure Matu was in Her bed at night(and by that I mean Belle's bed). Yes she even put maybe 5000 beads in Matu's hair one day. It just made me happy to see such a bond... and boy did Matu just eat up all the attention! So Mama Angela no worries Belle is going to be a GREAT big sister... but I am sure you already know that hehe!

Oh, thank you so much for this post. Those are adorable pictures. I too was just smiling ear to ear when I watched Belle and Matu on my last trip. They are just sooooo cute together. Belle is such a little mama. You are right...she will be a great Big Sister. I just can't wait to see her packing Madelyn around, picking out her clothes, braiding her hair, and sleeping with her. Madelyn is so blessed to have Belle for a sister. I just can't stop thinking about how cool it's going to be. Thanks for sharing Anne.

Great pictures! I'm so thankful Belle is helping Matu with her adjustment downstairs. I pray that after Belle comes to Indiana, it won't be long before Matu comes too so Matu won't be lonely. Cathy
