School starts in four days. It's been a very busy summer! Eli and Isaac had frequent tutoring sessions, Eli, Isaac, Cassie and Clay all had extended swim practices and meets, plus of course, Sasha was here for much of it. It's time to shift gears now and get ready for school. More will be expected of Eli and Isaac in school this year. The boys have worked very hard with us and their tutors this summer, and their reading skills are coming right along. Progress, of course, begets confidence. The boys are ready for the new challenges ahead.
The boys are also learning a lot about accountability, being aware of what's going on around them, making decisions, and being responsible for themselves by keeping track of the clock and being ready on time. Coming from a place where they had no control over their environment, this is a big adjustment.
Sasha. We miss him dearly, and he misses us. Our dossier is on it's way to Ukraine. We pray that our petition will be approved, our SDA appointment will come quickly, and that we will all be reunited soon. This is very hard on all of us.
