A Happy First Mother's Day




I had a lovely Mother's Day. (In Russia, people celebrate Women's Day in March, but they don't have a Mother's Day.) Leif made me breakfast and dinner, Anneka made me a sweet card, and we had a nice lunch of cabbage soup with people from church. I'm so thankful for such a beautiful daughter and loving husband!

Anneka has had a cough for 3 weeks now. I started freaking out yesterday after reading in a couple of medical books and wrote to a doctor in the States. Then last night we had our friend, Ksusha (who is a doctor) come over and listen to Anneka's lungs. They sound good. I think her cough is getting better, but we appreciate your prayers! Thankfully, Anneka is still happy and has energy. She cut two new teeth in the last week, too... so now she has four! She's such a joy.

Leif Jami and Anika,
Great you had a good mother's day. You are a great family, and Anika is so beautiful. We enjoyed Mother's Day at church. We dedicated Gracie Ross, daughter of Helen and Cory. We miss you.
