New lessons every day!


So nice to see the boys again on Monday! We learned a valuable lesson with Conner. He seems hell-bent on taking every toy out of whatever shelf, bin, cabinet or box that is holding them, and we couldn’t seem to get him to put anything back. Then we discovered that as soon as every toy was in a pile on the floor, he was just as focused on putting them all back! Above, you see him putting a wide assortment of toys into a little swimming pool.

We learned something new about Carson too. He can handle the sippy cups! We know they don’t get sippy cups at the orphanage. They have to drink from regular mugs. Carson learned almost instantly how to drink water from the sippy cup. And stared at his Mummy with those big brown eyes while doing it. Good boy!



It is actually Tuesday now. (We’ll catch up on our blog dates tomorrow). Our friends the Schmidts had a successful court date. They were with us on our first visit to Kras in April, along with the Krafts. We were so pleased to see the Krafts’ boys at the orphanage yesterday and were excited to email them and say they looked great.

Couldn’t go to the orphanage today because of all the court hearings. We ventured out into town instead, and had a great self-guided tour. Saw the town’s main cathedral and it was gorgeous! Couldn’t take pics though, sorry. Back to the orphanage tomorrow for our little kiddos!

Don from Baldwin sends his best wishes! He couldn't post a comment because he's not a blogger, so I'm sending his greeting via my blogger account!

Best of luck to you!

I am totally cracking up over Conner. Remember we mentioned if you have a few things on the airplane with you such as cups, sacks, etc - things they can put stuff in and take it back out again it will go a long way. They will do this for hours - it is amazing. Remember those air vents in your house... I'm sure you can really see first hand now how all the little stuff will end up down the air vents... and the cupboards... and the drawers... and the fish tank... welcome to toddlerhood!! Conner & Chris will have a great time dumping stuff out and then picking it back up again. I can't wait for you guys to get home and get settled in!!

Miss you guys...

The Moscow Times today just posted a story that mentioned no carryon luggage being allowed for flights to the U.S. Please update us on that when you get home?!
