This is a video of how Luke greets us when we get to the orphanage to see him, what a blessed family we are! Pree-vee-ett means hi in Russian. It is such a joy to see that he is so excited to see us and waiting for us to arrive. He was very excited about some new balloons in the playroom and couldn't wait to show them to us.
The second video is a greeting from Pastor Andre, someone that has been so incredibly good to us and a true joy to spend time with. We filmed this video on the coldest day yet and it shows the open spaces that they are raising money to fill with new windows. We would love to see this prayer fulfilled as it would make the completion of construction go much faster once the windows are in. We have asked Pastor Andre for a way to send money to help with this large expense and we know God will rain blessings on them for the work that they are doing here. If you are intere
sted in buying a window please ask us how.The last photos are for you, Moe and Angela, a true Russian tea party hosted by Kara at her home yesterday! I finally got to have my tea party, just in a different part of thr world. We had Russian teas, cookies, homemade pumpkin pie & banana bread (from Kara's Kitchen), Russian chocolates called Bird's Milk and tangerines (compliments of Lena).
We will pick up Luke tomorrow, praise God! We'll post some new photos of our first night as a united family tomorrow night.

I'm bawling with Luke's "privyet Mama!" We just received our fee schedule for our 2nd trip for our 2nd son -- this video just helped me get over it! Don't know that I care anymore about the cost!
Cute boots by the way, Mama!
Please post how we can purchase a window or at least part of one.
If Pastor Andre can reach even one of the orphans who age out the system, we would love to be a part of it!
I believe this will be the merriest Christmas ever!!! Mark, Danette and Luke, I am singing "Glory to God in the Highest"!!!!!!!!! Love Rosemary
