Pictures of the kids

Today we got to spend a long time at the camp with the kids.  All of the kids are starting to be more comfortable around us.  We had a lot of fun.  They loved trying to play baseball and throw the "American Football".  Ellie and Tanya were so silly together.  It's really fun to see them enjoying each other so much.  We have to go pick up some more documents tomorrow and then we should know our court date.  We are hoping for Friday.  Here are some pictures from today:

Bogdan in his new sunglasses

Ellie and Tanya

Pasha playing "American Football"


Pasha playing baseball with Jody

This picture doesn't look like Tanya, I don't know why.  This is her friend Yana.


We jump roped for a long time.  They were good!



Helen and Nick Quintero


Nick loved taking pictures with my camera.  He took this one and about 50 more :)


Bogdan had fun learning to play baseball.


Nick also took this picture of Lena.  She is coming for hosting this summer.


This is Pasha and another boy put I can't remember his name.  Both are sweet kids!



This is Pasha who really wants to come to Texas!  He is so sweet, a good student, and an amazing athlete!  Jody loves this kid!!!!!!



This is Pasha with the soccer ball.  This doesn't even show how amazing he is.




We got caught in the rain yesterday and had to walk 2 miles in the pouring rain!


This is from graduation the other day.

  1. Thank you for posting the picture of Lena! We are hosting her this summer and it was so nice to see a picture of her. If you see her again, tell her we can't wait until she gets here next week.
