We went to the orphanage twice Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday we had two injuries. I have been bring a can of cat food to the orphanage with us. The kids love the cats that live at the orphanage. At our morning visit we feed the cats and Nadia was carrying the bid fluffy one and it scratched her nose. It got her on the side of the nose and she was bleeding in two places. So we went in side to her room. All I was thinking was I am not going to send this child back at the end of our visit and have the lady in the room freak out!!! So they put iodine or some kind of disinfectant on all the kids scratches...so she got two blue dots on her nose. She was so embarrassed. She kept hiding her nose and laughing!! I did manage to get a picture...but of course by the time we came back at 4 p.m. she had wiped it all off. Then in our afternoon visit, Brad went to kick the ball and kicked the floor and he thinks he sprained his toe. He is limping around whining. Stasi was rubbing Brad's toe to make it feel better and saying a bunch of stuff in Russian.

We had a big weekend. We went out for Italian food with P & P from the U.S. on Saturday night and then out to play pool. Last night we went out to a cafe with P & P to have a bowl of solanka soup (meat) and visit. It was the first time that we had gone to this cafe and the soup was excellent. We will definitely be going back.
