We were assigned to the Krasnodar Region in Russia. Krasnodar was originally named Ekaterinodar after Catherine the great which meant "Catherine's Gift". After the Russian revolution in 1917 the name was changed to Krasnodar which means "beautiful gift". I found this to be a sweet reminder and quite encouraging. Sasha is a beautiful gift that God created in His own image. A child He created knowing that we would be her parents.

Yesterday Sasha got to experience the pool for the first time. We were pretty sure she would love it based on how much she enjoys bath time. Hard to believe that prior to two weeks ago she had never been in a tub and now she's in a swimming pool. She has the makings of a little fish based on her first impression. Good thing since we have so many hot summer days here in KS! Since we'll be spending more time at the pool I'm going to have to get another swimsuit that actually fits her. The one we picked out was way to big and not as modest as I would prefer. We are still learning her size and just when we get it figured out I'm sure she'll hit a growth spurt that will keep us guessing!
