Leif's friend, Grisha, who he first met 12 years ago, invited us over last Sunday. His wife made us a feast and a really yummy dessert that I can't wait to try. It was fun to spend time with them. They have a little guy who is Ella's age. They live in their own private home, and the kids loved driving around in this little jeep. There was a whole huge room on the main floor with just toys... no furniture... so there was lots of space for the kids to play. A lot of private homes here don't have running water, but Grisha's family has a well.
They have a cat and a dog- a focal point for our girls, that's for sure! As you can see here, Anneka even got to ride their (HUGE) dog.
In my opinion the best part of having your own home is having a yard for the kids to play in. The girls loved playing in the dirt and water!
Anneka was thrilled to eat vegetables from the garden. And by saying "thrilled", I'm not at all exaggerating. She ate four cucumers and a few radishes and kept saying, "I love these vegetables fresh from the garden!".

and of course, Ike loves the fresh air and quickly falls asleep outside. Every day they fill up the big tank behind me with water and then they can put a hose inside and water everything.
We hope to spend more time with this great family!

Fun! Vegetables do taste better fresh from the garden! Love the picture of you and Ike! You look great and he is getting so big!
What a great blessing for you and the other family. So glad the girls get chances to visit with folks that have gardens and play outside in family's yards.
I can just picture Anneka's thrill with picking and eating vegetables from the garden! So cute! Baba
