Shop Til We Drop




Greetings!!

Well, it is Friday evening and we keep losing track of what day we are on over here. We keep thinking that every visit to the orphanage is a separate day. It is really messing with mom's mind. Lonnie said to add that he is also losing weight. We call him bug boy, cause he brushed his teeth with sink water....thus, his favorite Russian word --tualet, tualet!!!!

Today, we did the usual trips to the orphanage to visit with the munchkin. Everyone keeps commenting on how much she is growing and how beautiful she is. She is getting more active and vocal every visit. Today, Lonnie was having issues holding her cause in his words, "she is squirmy wormy!!" She eats really well and likes her walks in the Snugli.

We went shopping at the Bazaar today. It is sort of like a flea market. We purchased a few hats for Marina and a few outfits. The onesies I brought are way too big. I know it is hard to believe that we went shopping, with mom around and all, it is like her favorite past time, but without the going out to eat part. :-)

Not too much else to post tonight. Lonnie is cooking and we are starvin' marnins, cause we had a very busy day. Bread and cheese have become our best friends, next to Lonnie and the toilet. :-)

Please keep us in your prayers. We think of you daily. And, we give Marina lots of love from everyone back home.

God Bless,
All of us
