Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted
according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or
slow to do the humble work.

I am the proud mom to 6 kids: Natasha, 24, Nikolai, 20, Reese, 20, Maylee, 14, Erik, 10 and Violet, 7. The kids come from Russia, Ukraine and China; I'm so proud of my family sometimes I think I'll burst and I needed an outlet for it - so I've created this weblog. :o)

PostHeaderIcon Another update on Simon!

4:58 AM | Posted by Missy | Edit Post
God bless her, my friend Christine sent another update on our little guy!! These updates are like water in the desert, and I am sooooo grateful to her!

Today as we walked into the orphanage grounds to visit Alexsey, I saw Simon with his group. As soon as I walked up to him and called out his name, he was responsive--- and immediately came over to me. He is a doll, and wanted to hold my hands and play a little game with me, I call "Ballam, ballam, booksie" This is where I say the words and then we tap our foreheads together lightly. He got the game right away and was moving his head toward mine at the appropriate time. When I moved over to play with one of the other boys, he followed me-- telling me he is craving attention and probably bored in his group of mostly invalids. He is pretty steady on his feet while holding onto the rail---- and his laugh is cheery sounding. However, his teeth look like they are in pretty bad shape--- poor little guy. I will continue to visit when ever I can--- I am positive that the interaction with and him and all the other boys is making a difference if only for the moment.

I've gotta get over there before I have a stroke from waiting...

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.
