Evie and Chipango, also known around here as BB and Chips. Somedays are terribly long and our children find themselves sitting for hours in a village listening to some "boring" adult conversations. No matter where or when, these two will have each other backs. They share almost everything they have together. They play school, cards, ride bikes, paint fingernails, swim, shell, grind and sift maize and even do some school work together. They have their inside jokes and have in the past gotten up early together before school so they could play before Chipango had to leave for school. When they are outside many times, I find myself having to listen very carefully to figure out which one is speaking. What Evie hasn't picked up in Zambian english accent Chipango makes up for in using our southern draw. Chipango knows well and listens to stories of Evie's best friend Kelsi from home. It seems Evie has been blessed with some of the very best of friends from very different sides of the world. Missing Kelsi when she is here and Chipango when we are in the states. What a blessed girl!!!
