ELLA'S BIRTHDAY!




Ella had a GREAT birthday today! We started celebrating on Thursday at an indoor play place here in Moscow. Today she chose to eat at TGI Friday's so she could get fettucini and shrimp. She opened cards and presents from family and friends tonight. Tomomrrow we will celebrate with the Stamey's!







We praise the Lord she is so happy and full of life. She has adjusted so well here so far. Her favorite things are the metro, tramvae, and playgrounds!

Thanks for all the presents and cards!




SHE LOVES TO PLAY AND CHECK OUT ALL OF THE PLAYGROUNDS!

Please pray specifically for Ella when you read this! Pray that she transitions well to staying with Olga full time on August 17th. Pray that she will begin to learn Russian (Spanish as she calls it) quickly. Pray that she continues to love being here and that God would use even her to draw someone closer to Him! Thanks for all of your support, love, and prayer.

Tell Ella Happy Birthday from Uncle Clarke and Aunt Tara. Give her a big hug from us and tell her we want a sample of her cooking in her new bake set.
