Dear Papa

(For anyone who doesn't know, Will left yesterday for his sister's wedding. So far, he's made it to Vienna, and he'll go the rest of the way tomorrow.)

We really miss you and wish that we were with you. We didn't sleep very well last night (pray that Raia won't have any more nightmares!), but we had a good day today.

In the morning we went to the playground in the center. The male peacock is gone, and we are worried about him. His wife is still there, though. Jaan and the pheasant had an interesting conversation. After the playground we went and bought candles to put in the jars we decorated at Sunday school.

When lunch was over, Jaan went and bought a watermelon by himself. He chose the biggest one and almost couldn't drag it home. That was our dessert.

Mama started trying to get things ready for school, but we've been a little too wild for her to make much progress yet.

Dinner was really yummy. We ate a lot. Thank you for the black beans!

Now we're going to watch Neznaika. Thank you for that, too!
Love,
Jaan, Raia and Asya

P.S. We also played with the puppies today.

That's so sweet, Phyllis. You're on my mind a lot. Fr. Christos is away. On his way to London then Oxford for the Anglican-Orthodox Dialouge- I have NEVER been able to sleep when he's away. His first trip for the dialouge- 16 years ago, was to Switzerland a week after our honeymoon. I was stranded in London, lol, so I felt. You're doing amazing on your own with three young kids in Ukraine! Prayers for good strength!
