More photos


In the bath. We have a good evening routine: eat, bath, eat, bed, milk, bed, sleep!



Nicholas loves yogurt, and luckily this word is the same in Russian as in English.



At the park in front of the city's largest mosque.



Writing. Thanks goodness, they've taught him quite a lot at the baby house. And he's a fast learner. His English has already grown exponentially. Some of his words/phrases are: I love you; kiss; counting 1-10 (we practice this on seven flight of stairs in our building); AMERICA (said holding his arms up punctuating the syllables with his fists; comb; socks; milk! and a few others. Oh yeah, he understands, though he doesn't say "wait!" "No" and "stop!"

You're quite the English teacher (and I ought to know one when I see one). We all miss you.

Don't worry about the girls, they'll recreate the Camp Timberlee excitement.

Hello Steph and all,
I'm here with your mother in the hospital room at New England Baptist. The surgery went well and she's got the color back in her cheeks. She's even been up and walking a little bit on the walker. Rae comes in tomorrow!

The nurses let us use their computer to wheel it in to Josie's room. We've looked at all your photos and read about your adventures. Please know that you remain in our prayers. Below is a little something that your mom dictated to me!
Much love,
Laura



"Dear stephanie, I'm here with laura and enjoying all your news and pictures and the emotion of the moment and all the sensations of a new baby. Can't wait to be together. And to know at last this new grandson. we hope that soon you will be home with all the little ones. It's been a long time and not very simple. You're very brave. Big hug,
Love and God bless both of you,
MOM
