CONTINUED JOY WITH OUR NEW SON

The last couple of days have been very exciting for both of us. Yesterday we got to play with him outside on the playground. He loved to go up and down the slide. The communication barrier has been a challenge but we do alot of pointing. Hugs and kisses are a universal language anyway!!! We did get several pictures of him that we are hoping to post on Sunday. We already tried at the cafe but the computer is not set up for this. On Sunday we are going to attend a Nazarene Russian Church service. After the service we've been invited for lunch at the Nazarene Missionary Field Director's house. Here we should be able to post pictures so he can melt your hearts as he has done to ours. Today was a rainy day so most of the interaction was inside. The orphanage had him dressed up in a suit today for us. He looked adorable like a little man. He went from room to room showing off his spiffy duds. We got to show him pictures of big sister Heather, big brother Brandon, and the rest of our family including our house. We then proceeded outside, despite the rain, and had fun with him. Daddy even climbed into a small house with him. OK the gig is up I am going to stop calling him him, we do have an official American name for him. His Russian given name is Igor so we felt led to change this. We are going to keep the initials A.J. (no not annie jane) since it has such a history behind it. Drum roll please ........... his American name is Andrew James Leigh.
