church

This morning Viktorija was happy to have Mike go with her to Sunday school class. Mike said she seemed more relaxed this Sunday with her peers. At the end of class the teacher asked the kids to go around the room and say a short prayer, if they wanted to. If not, they could pass. Apparently, Viktorija said she was thankful "for Mike and Julie" in her short prayer. She also got to meet some more of our friends at church. A BIG thank you to Kyle for the gift card! Viktorija is so excited about going shopping with her gift card!

After church we had lunch at Brixx and then went to Kevin's (Mike's brother) birthday party. I think the highlight of her day, though, was going to the pet store to see puppies, kittens, fish, and birds. She got to hold 2 poodle pups and a papillon pup. She was really working on Mike and I, but, we did manage to walk out of the store empty handed....yeah for us! :-)

We are trying to have an early night tonight, but she is wound up right now:-) We have another busy week ahead. More fun and more memories. She is already saying she doesn't want to go back to Latvia. It will be hard when that time does come--for all of us. But, for now, we are enjoying every moment we have with Viktorija!
