Babushka Judy



I just wanted to post a short entry about Ilona and her "Babushka Judy". As I said in our last post, Ilona proudly displayed the clothes and letters she receives from Grandma Judy. Here she is wearing some of them.

These kids love to receive letters so please consider becoming a pen pal! Let us know if you want more information.
















Here she is with an email from Grandma Judy.



















Here's Oksana translating the letter to her.









Ilona colored a picture today and asked me to give it to her Babushka.

Kari, thank you, thank you for the photos! I so appreciate your thoughtfulness. You were first on my mind when I woke up that Sunday that you left and I have been following your journey with awe and admiration for all you are doing! I shall continue to pray for all of you. you are special people!
God Bless you!
Love Babushka Judy

Hi, ya'll! Finally got caught up on everything going on over there. Why does it feel like you guys have been gone for about 3 months? Glad court went well, each hurdle is such a relief! We were at the Roge's Saturday night for dinner, acutally, more like complete chaos!! Had I video-taped it, I could have titled it, "Former Orphans Gone Wild!". Looking forward to you being home. Oh, I noticed Kari used the word, "...snuggle...", in one posting-I hate that word and I hate the word "...cuddle...", too. Jim, I ate Chipotle's today-YUMMM!! You think we could market a place similar in Kyiv and call it, "Chipotlova"? Matt
