Recovery day!

Mike and Viktoria slept in until about 10:30 this morning, while I was a zombie at work. The excitement of the July 4th festivities required some recovery.They enjoyed a day of lounging around the house watching movies, coloring and doing word finds. Viktoria also learned how to use a yo-yo that my brother, Gary, had given her. WOW! That took me back a couple of decades! Who remembers 'walk the dog', 'around the world', and 'rock the cradle'?? Time sure does fly!

When I got home from work, Viktoria was so sweet. She knew I was tired and hadn't had much sleep. She told me to, "go to sleep". I sat next to her on the couch and she patted my leg and gave me a kiss and said "sleep". I actually did take a 15 minute nap. She's very thoughtful and caring.

Our new friends, Shad and Jen Kayser, invited us over for a wonderful dinner tonight. Viktoria got to meet their children Griffin, Grace, Grant, Garrett, and Grady. They were so nice to Viktoria and tried to make her feel welcome. She is so shy when she first meets new people, but she told us on the way home she had fun:-) The Kaysers also let us borrow a Russian DVD and a music CD. She really loves the music. Mike had her doubled over on the way home as he tried to sing along with the Russian CD. Thank you to the Kaysers...you are a blessing to us!!
