Saturday Happiness

I've been slowly pulling out the crafts that were gifted to us little by little. 

It is amazing how much fun they had with a bag of pipe cleaners and pom poms. Thanks RP!

 Even Mishka got in on the fun! Had to also include this photo of Ethan. 

He truly has spent most of our time in the apartment upside down. 

 We enjoyed lunch with Kristina and her adoptive family at our favorite restaurant. 

 The kids loved this man posed like a statue. 

 We enjoyed some outside playtime today in slightly warmer temperatures. 

 Our daily trek back from the market with a huge water jug and groceries for dinner.

 Watching "Peppa Pig" in Russian while Mommy made dinner. 

 More braiding :) and Irina begging Daddy to call her friends at the orphanage. We allowed her to make a call today and she was thrilled. (An older girl at the orphanage has a cell phone.) But now, once is not enough! She is VERY persistent when she wants something.

Stay tuned… I have an update on our return travel plans coming up! Day 12 done…and we know when we're coming home! Hooray!
