Oh goodness! We can’t begin to comprehend that we’ve been at the TB Center for a week and a half already. Each day brings more and more joy to us all. These beautiful children have completely stolen our hearts. We fall in love with them more and more each day.
On Monday, we had an excursion with the kids outside of the TB Center. We toured two museums that showed us some of the history of Novgorod through Art. Afterwards, we walked to a park. On our way we passed a little amusement park with carnival like rides. The kids stared and pointed the whole time. We had no idea but Zinaida, the woman who oversees all the activities for the kids, planned for us to go on rides with kids. To see the excitement on the children’s faces when they found out that we would actually be going on roller coasters and other spinney rides was like seeing the kids finding out we were going to Disneyland. Seeing their smiles and hearing their shouts of enthusiasm just reminded us all to appreciate the little things.
These wonderful children have taught us how to love with even a greater capacity than we thought possible.
From Novgorod, Russia with love.

P.S. Pictures will come tomorrow. 🙂
Okay. Remember how you said “P.S. Pictures will come tomorrow.” ? Did you mean tomorrow the day after you wrote it or tomorrow the day after some other day? I will continue to check. 🙂 Thinking of all of you. Sami, I miss you!
