My annual PPR (Post-Placement Report) to Ethiopia is due.
In addition to a report on Elsa’s progress, health, etc., the Ethiopian government wants to see current photos of her. Above is the collage-y thing I put together for the report.
And below is last year’s photo collage. My, what a difference a year makes!

Great pics. I like the collage idea. Katya’s pp is due next week and I need to put photos together. I usually just email a bunch to my agency, but who knows, they probably just print them off and send them poor quality. I should do something nicer for the final one – I think I’ll borrow your idea.

You and Elsa are so incredibly lucky to have found each other ….. the Ethiopian government should take a five-minute time out and all do cartwheels together in celebration.
And, if they have trouble with the time-out concept, I know just the girl to help instruct them! Gorgeous collage(s)!

Really cute pictures. One thing that hasn’t changed is Elsa’s fabulous smile!
You’re so skinny. I’m jealous.

Elsa really has grown up in the past year! But what I also notice is that you look different – more relaxed, at ease. Gives me hope!

Thanks guys!
Bridget, I used the “collage” function in Picasa (free image editing software from Google). Easy peasy.
