Today we woke up to a snowy Sevastopol. It is not supposed to snow here but it seems we have been especially blessed: 4 more inches overnight and -14 degrees Centigrade. The town was lovely with a garland of fresh white snow and traffic down to a few obstinate trucks.
Sadly for Galya, our erstwhile faciltator,the streets were not plowed in her neighborhood so she couldn't join us at the orphanage. She had planned a major art project of batik and painting for the kids and we were going help (mostly watch). The kids, fortunately, accepted their disappointment with aplomb. This left Lorelle and me with more time to interact with our cherubs.
Lorelle, as always, had a backup plan and was set for any possibility. It seems that word has gotten out and more and more kids are interested in hanging out with us, which is gratifying but much harder to manage than just being with our two girls. It helps when Lorelle and I split up, but the girls always seem to be more interested in what she is doing. Oh well, I have to face reality and recognize the fact that Lorelle is a kid magnet and always will be.
Thanks for reading. Your messages and kind remarks mean a great deal to us.
Best,
David and Lorelle
