It’s Thursday evening here in Moscow. Guess I don’t have to keep telling you where we are. We’re still here.
We had another wonderful day thanks to complete strangers. We had a late breakfast and a walk around the neighborhood and dinner with our new friends. Seth, Sally and their new son Sasha (Ivan is waiting at home). They were a breath of fresh air to us. It was nice to meet and be able to talk about important things like raising a family, bonding, and just being silly together as well. When we parted, we happened to both bring things to give each other. They, since traveling home Friday morning, gave us their extra rations of cheerios, bread, water and baby food. We tied little bows to some children’s cookies, a packet of gummy bears and a hotel bottle of lotion. Little silly things. No cost involved, but how they came from the heart. Small tokens of thinking of the other. Wishing each other congratulations from knowing hearts. Caring strangers. It will always touch me. It doesn’t take much to show someone you care.
Show someone special that you care today. Let’s all pass it forward.
Home soon.

Time to write, unfortunately good thoughts are not enough:) Looking forward to seeing your new arrival. And I am definitely sure you will be happy to be home in your own bed. I’m glad you are not alone, it’s always better to have your other half for support even if they are asleep. Rainy and chilly here today, Monday was warm and beautiful. Some leaves are still on the trees, really strange. You will have to come see me at the farm, the kids will love the animals AND they can run crazy if they want. Love to you all.
