Spring!

Spring is on its way over to Russia! Yesterday it was quite a bit warmer out. Now when I say warmer, I am not saying 70s and 80s like in Indiana! It is warm enough that the snow is melting...soon the roads and sidewalks will be big yucky puddles. Oh the joys of spring in Russia. Oh, and did I mention that at night the puddles may freeze and then you have to enjoy sliding around on them during the early morning hours? Oh yes the price to pay to have warmer weather. I'll take it!
Yesterday after I spent all morning studying Russian and Philip spent all afternoon studying Russian, we decided we all needed a break! We took the girls outside for a walk around the apartment building and little play time on the slushy playground! It was fun and the girls enjoyed being outside. We even saw our neighbor outside with her dog. We said hi, talked about the warmer weather, how Adalynn can say some Russian words, and how tired Gwen looked!

This is Adalynn looking through the fence at the muddy road.

Sharing a swing!

Adalynn was "helping" push Gwen!

Blessings,
Philip, Kara, Adalynn, and Gwen
