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.

Sasha at the zoo!

Today Sasha visited the zoo for the first time. We have an awesome zoo here that you can easily spend an entire day admiring. We only looked at a couple exhibits today which took well over an hour because Sasha loved the animals. This was basically her first big outing since we've been home and she did really well. We went with a friend that has been over to play once prior to this. She interacted very well today with Aiden and his mama which is a really good sign as well. I suspect we'll be making many more visits to the zoo!
