Happy Thanksgiving!!!!! We wish we were there frying a turkey and enjoying the company. Well, we had our first meeting with a little boy named Nickoli (?) they call him Kolya for short. He's 6 yrs old and is a little character. He's been there about 10 months and seems just perfect.
We're getting in touch with a specialist in the US and hopefully everything will check out just fine. He ate a package of Oreos and whole apple yesterday......I mean a WHOLE apple, core and everything!!!! We also brought him a few little cars and legos to play with. We're looking forward to getting back to the orphanage and spending some time with him.
We just couldn't get the opportunity to meet two children as they were only showing us pictures of siblings with health problems. We finally were shown a picture of Kolya as a last resort and he was just precious.....funny how they make that work!
We're in a city named Sumy not far from Russia and it's interesting.....pretty run down, lots of apartments and run down buildings. The orphanage itself looks run down but it's really pretty nice on the inside. It still seems funny to see beautiful women in fur coats walking to work through dirt lots and down filthy streets.
Well, time to go for now. We hope you all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving and we're thinking of you all!!!!! Wish us luck!!!!
