Only Four Hours Left!

Nastia and I leave for the airport in only four hours! She has been cleaning like a mad-woman since she woke up...and then I checked on Dasha's room, and found she had already gone in and 'tweaked' it a little more: shoes by the bed, photo on the nightstand, new toys she found sitting on the dresser. Even our kitchen has received a visit from Nastia-the-cleaning-fairy. She put on her favorite tablecloth and set out cups and a teapot. So cute...

So, the next time I post here, Dasha will be home! Hope she has an easy transition! I'm praying up a storm!

Keri!

I had no idea that you had this blog or that Dasha was around our daughter Greta's age! The three of you MUST come over for a playdate very soon! Do you have any availability this weekend or next perhaps? I'll invite Michael and his wife over as well so you we all can meet if you'd like. Let me know!

Brian :)

Where Your Money Went

For almost 10 years, you helped me raise money for my daughter's former orphanage. Sadly, I can no longer raise funds for the children from Orphanage #5, because it closed in June 2015. But we accomplished a lot over the years - and I thank you. Here is what you, my readers, did for the children from 2006-2015.

Your donations have funded:

1. All new furniture in the common rooms (2011)

2. 16 new beds for the girls' room (2008)

3. An updated girls' bathroom (2007)

4. On-going support for medical supplies and clothing (2006-11)

5. A small library (100 books in 2010)

6. Two washing machines (2012)

7. Four televisions and three DVD players. (2009 and 10)

8. 100 educational and/or inspiring children's videos.

9. Arts and craft supplies for 100 children.

10. A new printer for their office.

11. Christmas and Thanksgiving Feasts for all the children for 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012.

12. School supplies, educational toys and countless other incidentals from 2006 - 2015.

Thank you!
