Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27

Meeting Vlad!

Greatest surprise in my life @ 1:30am Saturday morning, when arriving with the new group of Ukrainian orphans was "our" Vlad! We were told he might be coming, but then no one could verify & he was listed on roster with his full name (Vlad) is his nickname, so we thought he wasn't coming. He made me a bear himself and gave it to me & I totally lost it. After just 3 days with him, we're totally in love!
Fishing @ The Waters. Notice that's Hayden's bag he has. It's so funny because his brother, Artem, also loved carrying Hayden's bad around!      


   
This is the bear he made me.

With his 2 sisters
 We are enjoying as much time as we possibly can with this sweet boy before he has to go back. The boys received the photo album we sent them for Christmas, so Vlad recognized us right away & his face just lit up. He loves saying his sisters' names. He'll just come up behind them & say "Holp" (that's how he says it) & "Heyden", its precious. We are trying very hard not to spoil him, but its very hard! We are so glad to finally meet him, but already dreading the day he leaves!
