Being tickled by her friend Ander

The Summer may be moving too quickly, but we are making sure it's action packed for Sasha.  She has been busy with pre-school and planned events such as swimming with Glammy, bike rides galore,  many trips to the Hogle Zoo, play dates with good friends and family, Barbecues, and  so much more!   Her last day of Summer pre-school was last Wednesday. Sasha is now speaking 4 word sentences, and understanding English a whole lot more. I want to some how teach her to continue to be bilingual in both Ukrainian, and the English language. We just checked out a basic Ukrainian language set of CD's and Richard Scarry Ukrainian/French/English dictionary.  Sasha and I were looking over the dictionary one night and going over the kitchen items in English. She pointed to the objects and said, "Papa's plate, Mama's plate, Sasha's coffee cup". She then blurted with a smile, "I LOVE COFFEE." Definitely a moment that will always be cherished. It is amazing to see her progress from what she knew when she first came to America.  

She has claimed us as parents, and new family as her own. It is great to see Sasha active in the family, and to give so much of herself. She is still adapting great to her new life, and we still feel very lucky to have her as our daughter.  Sasha brings so much light and love into every new person's heart that she meets.
