A Little Boy's Prayer

Every night when we pray together, Isaac starts his prayer off with, "Gahver in Heaven". When translated this is, "Father in Heaven" and "God in Heaven" all rolled into one. There is nothing better than to listen to our children's prayers. What a blessing!

Photo Essay From Russia

These are some of our first pictures from Russia. The first is from our first Team Meeting at the Rehurek's. The second is of the boys watching a movie on the computer before we purchased a table, couch or TV. The third is Miriam's bath in the kitchen sink. The next is of Jesse and Jonas in their bath. The next is of Nahum after he busted his head open and had to get a butterfly band-aid put on the back of his head. The next one is of Miriam in her pink high chair and then of Isaac and Miriam getting into the tea drawer. The last two are of all the Moorhead children getting into my clean pile of laundry and of Isaac getting his first Russian haircut, from his Daddy, of course.

First Russian Meal

I am very blessed to have a new Russian friend who is also my Nanny. Her name is Oksana and she comes during our Russian lessons and on Wednesday, she stays until the evening so that I can get more done, like getting groceries. She stayed late today and after getting groceries and taking the children outside, she taught me how to make the most traditional Russian meal - Borsch. We had a great day and now I am enjoying another Russian tradition: tea and chocolate.

Saturday

Our morning started around 6 when the Buds climbed up in our bed. Thankfully, they rested with us for about another hour. For breakfast I made pancakes and I even made syrup. It was yummy. We hung out at home together, had lunch and then took naps. After naps, we took a long (20 min.) walk to a nearby park, walking through open air markets and crowded sidewalks, busy streets and even busier intersections. The boys had a blast playing at the park and on the way home we stopped at a mall where there was a grocery store. We bought onions, because Jonathan wanted to make his famous meatballs for supper. We arrived home, bathed, had a scrumptious supper and then put the boys and Miriam to bed. We had a long, but wonderful family day. How different this week will be with Russian lessons, many trips to the market, Jonathan away at the Seminary and the start of Homeschool. We covet your prayers for strength and stamina for the week ahead.
