Caleb-age 9

Caleb was allowed to roam freely
at the orphange. He'd be gone one day swimming at the river,
or walking thru town another... he was influenced by Jonas alot
at first but since we have seperated them by diff. rooms he is
becoming his own person. He is quite a charmer and absolutely
loves being here.... he has never showed any sense of missing
Ukraine. He loves sports a whole lot and is extremely gifted
with balls... baseballs, soccer balls and footballs. He is doing well
in school and we hear more English. He understands lots of the
English language and will request things and just talk using
English. He also enjoys our church- they go to Sunday school for 2 hrs,
sing in a kid's choir, and participate on Wed. nite in an Awanas program.
They love doing all these activites. We have many people at our church
who can speak Russian as well as lots of siblings...
