We've come full circle

This is a picture of Andrey at this year's Russian festival at a local orthodox church. He is watching young Russian dancers. Why this is special to me (to us) is because prior to adopting Andrey, we wanted to learn some Russian traditions/culture, etc. so we went to this Russian festival. I bought a Russian cookbook & scenic apron. So when the Russian festival came around this year & Andrey was an actual reality not just a dream, we had to go & enjoy coming full circle!

While in the orphanage visiting area, we saw many caretakers singing & playing piano...music seemed to be a big part of Andrey's activities at the orphanage. While Andrey doesn't get that Russian music anymore, i sure hope he likes the Lyle Lovett, Elvis Presley Gospel & Dave Matthews that is often heard in our home :)
