Mommy, Son Bonding Day!



I didn't get to the orphanage by 10:00am like I promised, but I did bring the suprise! There isn't much to cas much as hoose from at the local store so I brought a couple of bags of candy for Justin to share. I don't really like him having so much candy but what can I say... I was afraid he was going to end up with a stomach ache he ate so much. Today, the older kids did a show in the library for the younger kids and we watched. After the show, we went for a walk outside. "V" joined us and we had a blast. We only walked around the perimeter of the building but there were several kids outside working and playing. I think Saturday is chore day in Ukraine too. There were kids raking and sweeping up leaves like crazy. There were huge piles of leaves and the kids were jumping into them and wanting me to take pictures while they did. After every picture I took, they of course wanted to see themselves. I took over 100 pictures today. "V" and Justin took several pictures of the kids too. The boys were climbing the trees and running around having a great time. We were outside for a couple of hours. I am really glad I stayed here even though I miss my other two at home so much. Like my friend Mary said "It is good mommy and son bonding time." I do need to spend one on one with himJustin so he knows how much I love him! I wish I could download pictures faster than one about every 15 minutes! I have so many I want to share. I am going to try and download onto Flicker or something like that and see if it goes any faster.
