are already putting up their trees and getting funny looks from the neighbors.
Russians start decorating about the time the American trees are all dried out. New Year's is their biggest celebration of the year and the Orthodox celebrate Christmas on January 7th.
This is one tradition that we have not abandoned in our attempt to blend into Russian society.
Your mother gave me your blog address. Your family is beautiful, but we would expect nothing less. You have always been beautiful on the inside and out! Thank you for your continued prayers. Cadence saw the pictures of your girls and wanted to get Christmas decorations out. I need to do it for her. Let me know if I can put a link on my blog to yours so our family can enjoy your blog. My email is bamaboehms@charter.net. Laura
HEY! SO SO good to read some updates on you all! I have thought about you over the past months and wondered how you all have been. We just received your latest newsletter, although it's the first one we've gotten in over a year. (maybe it's the first one you've sent out, I don't know!) Anyway, I read it to Seth and the kids, and now they want to know all about lice!! Your kids are growing up! It's hard to believe our "babies" are almost 2! (YAY!!!) I still keep up with my blogspot blog some, but mainly update my www.xanga.com/aprescott site. Life is busy, full, never dull, and we are grateful to be "called according to HIS purpose." Love you guys muchly, Abby~
