Ahhhh....Routine....we think!

Pasha is tickling Jonathan, Natasha Joy, Watching the Jesus Film

We now will begin a routine of visiting our children in the mornings, until 1pm, and Chris will work some days in the afternoon. He made it safe to work, and called me the same time we made it safe home. Jonathan and I played a game, and are resting now. We will do math in a few minutes.

We had a nice time with the kids today. We did some art, played Go Fish in Eng/Rus, watched a nice Jesus movie in Russian, played outside, had lunch together. Katya needs to be in school because she is in a Math Contest April 12th. But some days she can go on outings with us. Chris was helpful with the movie.

We had a nice meeting with our helpers, and we talked about names for our children. We didn't want to change any of their names, but Pasha does not like her full name or Pasha because in Ukraine it does not have a good meaning.

We have decided to name her Sophia, however, at home she will probably be Pasha to us for a long long time. We gave middle names to all but Katya.
Sophia Grace (Pasha), Natasha Joy, & Andri Paul (full name Andryusha).

They are sweet beautiful children. Pasha came into our meeting to tell us that Jonathan was "fighting" with Andri and Ross (another MN boy). I felt like I was at home for a minute! They were just wrestling like boys!

We are so blessed. We miss home. We are well. We thank you for your prayers. We are waiting for the government to determine the next step. All is well. Tomorrow we may have a nice outing with our children.

In Him! Alesia & Chris
