Sarah is home

Sarah arrived home tonight. She is full of story after story of her experience in Mississippi. She would like to quit school and go work for the Red Cross. We told her to just finish school and then go right ahead. Maybe she will post photos when she has a minute. Catching up with school will need to be a priority for a bit. (I'm hoping Sarah feels that as strongly as I do)

It was so fun to watch Lena get more and more excited as the evening wore on, waiting for Sarah to come home. She went along to pick Sarah up and chatted endlessly about the events of the 6 days Sarah has missed. She had so much to tell her and tried so hard to do a good job. Both Lena and Alla's language is coming along nicely.

The girls called Babushka Lela tonight as she is still in Florida (just for a day or two more I think) and we wanted to check on her to hear how her eye is doing. It was very fun to listen to each of them talk with Lela. They had many more English words and much more understanding listening to her than a month ago. They really seemed to follow everything she said to them.

Well, that's it. I just wanted to let you know that Sarah is back.
