Birthday interlude

Raia turned 12 while I was in L'viv. I have now missed a birthday for each of my children: last year I was in London for Jaan's birthday; I was helping Stephanie in Kyiv when Bogdan turned 4; for one of Asya's birthdays Bogdan and I were in Poland. Hopefully I won't have to miss any more now. Although, they actually like it, because this way they celebrate once with Papa when I'm gone, and then a second time when I get back. This time Will took them to see Wonder Woman and eat at Raia's favourite restaurant on her actual birthday. Then on Friday, when I got back, we had a special birthday dinner with Raia's friend Karina.





I'll get back to writing about L'viv and L'Arche after this.

Happy, happy birthday, Raia! Last year a photograph was taken from exactly the same spot as the final one on this posting, and we were in it. Very happy memories. Love to all.
