Playground


W. and S. are starting to play together. I guess actually W. is allowing her to play with him!! I took the kids to "church" (we all get together for breakfast and a taped message). They got to play on the playground outside of Sharon's apartment. They were really cute together! Here is a picture.

P. stayed home from church, he is still really sick. I taught his class Thursday and I will again tonight. It seems to be a virus, I think bronchitis. webmd.com is so helpful. There is great information on that site. I love it and use it to be Dr. Mom very often! It is sure is handy. I find out what is wrong, they tell the right medicine to use(that your doctor will proscribe.) I check a medical book for the dosage and then go to the pharmacy and pick up what we need.

I am very used to it now, but I know it sounds crazy from a US prospective, but my mind is different now I guess. I am glad that the pharmacy is there and have been really surprised how many good things they have here. All I have to do is to say what I need with a Russian accent. I can read Russian, because it has the same letters as Mongolian. Then I transliterate the medicine name into English, and viola, we are treated!

Nothing could be easier... ha ha ha!! :)

they are so cute! I'm glad they are playing together. :) I'm sorry that P is sick. I think you're amazing that you can read Russian and translate it to English and figure out medical information! You should be impressed with yourself.
By the way, I am SOOOOOO sorry that Sgirl is a lousy sleeper! I hope she'll start sleeping soon. It's just awful when you are up every hour! If you're anything like me, you're probably standing over her crib crying out to the Lord "you made this child, now make her sleep!" Gotta love those middle of the night desperate prayers. :)

You are amazing,I still can't say a word in Spanish. How sad. I'm sorry P is so sick. I'm sick again too. This is my 3rd sinus thing/cold/broncitis. P my heart and prayers are with you. I know I get sick and tired from being sick and tired. I didn't even go to church yesterday! I watched it on the live stream, which was pretty cool.
I'm so glad W and S are playing together. It made my heart happy to see them holding hands and hanging out together. They will be best friends.
Gotta run and go to work.
Love heart and soul
Mom

Hey, that playground looks like a real playground! A nice improvment over the exercise type equipment that was there when we were there last year. It will be a year in June. I will be praying that Peter gets well soon and thanks for taking such good care of him! We you you, Mom
