we had a medical mission in June. there were a LOT of kids there, whom we kept busy while the doctors examined their parents. most of the kids followed me around because of my handy-dandy camera, getting as much into the photos as they can.

these two girls, though, were at the back of the pack, and they just followed me quietly, waiting to catch my eye, and then smiling oh-so-demurely. they never really asked for me to take their picture, but they just smiled there, in case i decided to take a shot. and so i did.

it's just so endearing to see them. the older sister ALWAYS had her little sister under her arm: i can imagine that their mom told her to take care of the little one. and the younger sister, in turn, always followed without protest, the sparkle in her eyes never disappearing.

it's just WAY too cute.
