Dodging Raindrops but Not Puddles!



Dark clouds loomed on the horizon...sudden downpour... thunder!  And then blue sky 5 minutes later! It was like this all day and we managed to escape the rain each time.  But rain makes puddles and everybody knows little boys love puddles!  Ben stepped in a small one first and then looked up at us... when he saw us smiling, that was his ticket to dive into the big ones!  (I guess we better watch our expressions.  :-)





Ben is taller than Giles here... he made sure we knew that!


Irina took us to 2 different malls to find clothes for Ben.  They are less that 3 years old and look just like ours.  Here  we are playing chess on a table they have set up in one mall.  the other mall has an ice skating rink and a large play zone for children.  (And great pizza!)


Zhenya, our coordinator is here with us as we visited with Ben.  


Irina helps us with interpretation each day that we go to see Ben.  She is such a blessing!


Today we told Ben that he will be living with us in a few days and he smiled!
