New Updates, with pictures!!



















Yesterday, after we wrote our last message, we ran into Oleg. He told us that Tania did not like Sasha's middle name of Joseph and so he is going to be called Alexander Max Harris instead. (Katelyn will be happy.)

At the orphanage we played Greedy with the kids again. Our translator requested that we play it again and then when we got into the dormitories the boys requested it also. The boys also asked us if we could leave the dice with them. We told them it was fine with us but they had better make sure the caretakers approve first.


It was funny while we were playing one of the caretakers came up to get two of the boys. Apparently they were supposed to be doing homework. One of the boys tried to hide from the caretaker for just a second. The adults got a chuckle out of this. I don't know if the boys did. Tania and Sasha had already finished their homework.

When Oleg came back to apartment he told us that he had liitle more work to do on the medical documents. Apparently, they have to be stamped with a round stamp. Unfortunately, the students stole the stamp about a month ago and the orphanage has not ordered a new one. So he is hoping that the doctors office will have a round stamp so that the paper work can continue on. He his hoping to have a court date by next Thursday or Friday.

And of course Sasha has brought up visiting the French couple again. Sasha is about the only person who likes the French couple right now.

We have figured out the picture situation finally so we are including some pictures.

Oh you guys got a picture of Dasha! I just love her. I would come and get her in a second if I could. I'm still looking for a way to get her over here somehow. The kids look great! Sounds like you are enjoying yourselves over there finally.
What you said about that french couple is hilarious!
