Just wanted to start out by letting everyone know that Andy is either getting really delirious or just maybe he might enjoy soccer. Yesterday Andy and David came back to the apartment where David proudly announced that his Dad is a very good goaly. There were two other boys at the fields and David and Andy played them and won. Andy says of course he is a good goaly- little goal, big Daddy. I think they really enjoy the time together and as soon as we get home, David is signed up for a Briarwood Soccer Team and will start immediately. We are so excited that our friend Suzette and her daughter Alexadria are coming to Zaparhoyzha to stay until Tuesday. They will arrive any moment (it is 8:30 pm here) and then we are all going to McDonalds. Apparently there is no McDonalds where they have been so everyone is excited! Tommorrow big celebration for David-his 14th Birthday. Over the last four years that we have known them we have been able to celebrate 3 of his birthdays because he was in Birmingham during this time so for that we are thankful because we have pictures and memories. Tommorrow we are going to a big amusement center with arcade games and bowling and lots of fun. After that we are coming back to the apartment to celebrate with cake and ice cream and presents. Yana and Nina and Victor, Suzette and Alexandria will be here. I just want to wish Yana a speedy recovery, she broke her foot yesterday walking on the sidewalk. Yana, I guess you can't bowl tomorrow now but we will pamper you. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, I will update you on the birthday party!
