Sviatlana and more

We have gotten confirmation of our foster child from Belarus.  Her name is Sviatlana and she turned 10 in March.  She will be coming here at the end of June.  We are really looking forward to it.  David is teaching us 1 or 2 Russian words here and there so we can begin to communicate with her and the girls will be doing a whole unit on Belarus this summer to learn more about her country.  We are very excited about her coming and we were able to put together a letter of welcome with a picture of our family. 

Our family is doing well.  We have all been fighting this allergy season; it makes us crazy!  I went out and mowed the lawn this afternoon.  It looks great, but I am sneezing and coughing again.  It is very quiet in the house right now.  The girls are all upstairs stuffing their clothing and pretending like they are expecting.  Gabby went outside that way.  They are so funny because they think  that people will really believe that they ARE pregnant even though all the neighbors saw them yesterday and know that they really aren't! 

Nothing too exciting here this week.  We are still recovering from our big week last week aqnd trying to rest up for the three weeks in June that my Aunt and cousin will be here.  It will be lots of fun!

Hope everyone is having a great day!
