Nastya loves to read so last night we got in bed with her russian reader and she began to read. After a while she decided that she would read a sentence and I would read a sentence. She found my attempts at reading russian hilarious and so decided she would teach me correctly. I had to sound out each letter and than repeat the word until I got a nod and thumbs up. One poem in her reader is a song so of course we had to sing it. The only thing funnier than my reading was my singing. So began my lessons in singing the scales up and down. do re me fa so le te do and back down. Once she was satisfied she began the song again guiding me with her hands as where each note was on the scale. She was very patient and I think someday our little girl might be a very good teacher.
Ukraine travel tip # 2
When ordering food always have your 2 way dictionary handy. We wanted to have some blini's ??, (crepes stuffed with assorted fillings) and had to guess at the filling. They came stuffed with cheese, orange caviar, and chives. My first and last experience with caviar I hope. We ordered more (via dictionary)filled with apples, sugar and cinnamon, yum yum.

Hi guys. Simone is still off work and we are actually in Halifax right now with her seeing a cariologist. No significant heart problem but her abdominal problem has got much worse. She is swelled up like if she was 8 months pregnant. She sees Dr. Prabhu tomorrow and they will have to find out what is causing this. She is still off work and likely will be for a while. So good news on the heart but not so good news on the other problem. We will keep you posted on whatever transpires after she sees other doctors in Yarmouth.
Think of you guys often and looking forward to seeing you back home with your new family addition. Heading back to yarmouth shortly. It is 10:00 am here and I am on a computer at the hospital library.

What a wonderful story. As you describe her as your little girl it brings great joy to my heart. Good luck with singing in Russian.
