Saying good-bye!
















Today we went back to the orphanage to say good-bye and drop off some treats and packages. A couple of the caretakers weren't there, so Zhenya and Jesse took off to see them. They live nearby. There are some very nice people there who really care about the kids. One of the caretakers told me that Zhenya suffered alot waiting for us. It was very hard on him she said. She asked if we were pleased with him. I told her, of course. He is a good boy with a very kind heart and caring disposition. She was very happy for him. Natasha and Yuri were happy to get their package, although Natasha didn't think she looked good enough for a picture. It was bitter sweet. Those who have been know it is hard to leave the other kids behind. Lucinda, I wasn't able to track down the music teacher either time we were there. Marina said she would try another day for me. Enough said for now. Enjoy the pictures.

Thanks for trying I know it's hard to catch people at the same time you are there. Austin's has enjoyed seeing the pictures you've shared and so have I. When are you coming home? We can't wait to see you home safe!

We are planning on our scheduled time. Wed. night around 10:30pm. We will try and post a reminder on facebook. I'm sure someone will get the word out.

THANK YOU for delivering our package and for photographing it (and the kids)!! You've made our day today, just seeing more pictures of them. Travel safely and I look forward to talking with you when you're home. Happy New Year!
