Ladi has had a lazy summer weekend! Saturday she played outside all day. Steven and I were working in the yard and Ladi put her bathing suit on and played in the sprinklers and the water hose. She loves watering the flowers and making mud puddles! She also figured out how to put the water hose on the trampoline to make jumping more fun! And she loves our two dogs, Jake and Addie. It is so cute when she talks to Jake in Russian! Today we went to church and again Ladi was great. She even sang along with the choir- she has a beautiful voice! Even though she doesn't know the words she sang in Russian but to their tune. I would love to know what she was singing. After lunch she and I came home and read the Sunday paper (she looked at the ads) and we took afternoon naps. Our neighborhood had a block party tonight and we took Ladi down to meet her neighbors. She was shy at first but once she warmed up to people she was running around "greeting" everyone! Everyone keeps asking how things are going and how she is adjusting. Steven and I are just amazed at how well she is doing- we prayed for this but we prepared ourselves for difficult times. However it is really going well, certainly nothing is ever perfect but Steven told someone today it is 99%! The language is the most difficult part but not for giving directions or playing- there are things she says to us and we just have no idea what she is talking about! And she ends everything she says with da?(yes) and nit?(no) so I have learned that if I don't know what she says I better just say nothing because I don't know what I have agreed to! The language will come soon enough and it doesn't seem to bother her at all. We really feel as if she has always been with us and we can not imagine life without her! I spoke to the boys today in Disney- and of course they are having a blast! Riding every ride at least a dozen times! I was informed that they will be staying in the Magic Kingdom tonight until it closes at 2:00am! My dad and brother are going to be worn out but I know they are loving it as well!
