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.

In The Kitchen


This week Sasha got to help out in the kitchen. She did a wonderful job helping mama make the pudding we were going to eat for dessert. She emptied contents into the bowl, mixed them and help spoon them into the serving dishes. The part I think she enjoyed the most was after dinner when we went and got them from the refrigerator. She proudly carried them over and placed them on the table and with a big grin on her face said "yummy". Later in the week mama and Sasha experienced making cookies together. She did a great job placing the cookie dough on the sheet and then enjoyed watching them bake in the oven. She kept checking through the window on the oven and when the buzzer went off she was excited. For snack we asked her what she would like and her response was cookies, Sasha. It was clear she was pleased with her creation. It seems we are going to have a little cook on our hands.
