Got a chance to Skype with the boys today thanks to their orphanage director, Viktoria! It was so good to see those smiling faces! It still amazes me that we can call someone half way around the world, speak to them, & SEE them!
They received the package we sent for Ruslan's birthday & he LOVES his remote control Batman car. Viktoria says she has one of the workers keep it put up when he's not playing with it so it doesn't accidentally get broken by one of the other kids. Zhenya likes his new earphones too. They aren't Beats, but we told him that if he takes good care of these, we'll get him Beats for his birthday in August.
Daniel was able to show Viktoria his progress report from school & she was very proud that he's making good grades. I think she was really happy to see him & she couldn't believe how much he's grown. She wanted to make sure he will be traveling with us when we come to Ukraine. We're hoping to Skype with her again Saturday when Daniel's friend Andre is here. He's from the same orphanage & I know she'd love to see him too.
Happy Mama here!
