Today was another day of some paperwork, walking, shopping at the super market,and the afternoon with the kids. It was the coldest day by far. Probably because there was a pretty good breeze. The super market was fun. It was fun trying to guess what was inside each box, can, or bag. When you buy fruit at the supermarket, you pick out what you want and the girl weighs it and labels it right there in the produce department before you go to the check out. Someone told me the yogurt was really good. I now know why. When I "read" the label even I could understand 5% fat. The lowest percent on the milk is 2.5%. They don't comprehend 1% or skim. That must be why the ice cream is so good too. The cleaning lady came by today to clean and asked if there was anything we needed. We told her that we could use some light bulbs(those of you who have been here will appreciate this)and she also asked if we would like something to dry our clothes on. We told her that would be great. A half hour later she came back with the light bulbs, a ladder(did I tell you that we had 12 foot ceilings?)and a good sized rack to hang our clothes up to dry. The picture outside our apartment is with our "men in black". They are the ones that helped us find our apartment and come to collect the rent. They have been very helpful and friendly. The kids seemed extra happy today. It was fun to be with them again. The one picture of Angelina is with a banana in her mouth. Tonight she ate four bananas and an orange, pizza and chips. Tonia had an apple and an orange along with her pizza and chips. Ray and Jeff braved the cold with Ruslan to go order the pizza and bring it home. We weren't sure what we would get when they opened up the boxes, but it was good and we ate everything. We went over letters and numbers with the girls tonight. Ann brought some papers with pictures of common things and the english word. They did really well with lots of the words and sounding out others they weren't familiar with. They wrote their names on the sign. They will learn quickly.

It sounds like the girls will learn quickly. That great! We went over to Lukes on Sunday and Troy is already speaking and understanding english very well. It's amazing to me how fast these kids pick it up. Thanks for the update, we love the sign. We love and miss you all too! (I got your e-mail, I'll take care of all the paperwork stuff.) Love you!
What other paper work are you guys doing?
You should look at our blog. Claire just posted a bunch of pictures, and I bet Tonia and Angelina would like it too. Love you guys.
