Oleg has never been to Simferopol. It is the capital of Crimea and is larger than Kerch. His eyes light up whenever we pass a park that has rides or things to jump on. After a long boring day of doing things for the adoption he needed to do something to burn off some energy. He wanted to go ice skating. We were not ready to injure ourselves, so he went by himself, with us watching. This was his first time to ice skate and he did great! He was going frontwards and backwards, spinning around. He did fall some, but kept on going. He makes friends very easily and got pointers from a couple of guys. He even helped a little boy that fell to get back on his feet. Can you tell I am a proud mama? :-)
We don't know what today will bring. There is a skateboard park Oleg wanted to find. Darwin has to get a new suitcase, his has a broken zipper. Saturday we take the train to Kiev. Hopefully everything there will move quickly and we can travel home soon!
Hi Pat and Darwin and Oleg, it sound like you might have a hockey player on your hands, but no skating in Fla!!. maybe waterskiing? Things here in madison are busy with all the usual madison stuff, I finally ran into Steve Perlman my old a.a. sponsor and we are going to sit and have coffee on the square tomorrow and watch the vets for peace parade. Doing and feeling well and you spoke about how well things are going there, after Anya and the other girl I feel that our Lord just wants you back home and is greasing the wheels with all of the prayers of your friends, you know you have so many. Love Gerry.
