Real (not virtual) Hugs!

A  few weeks ago we had an wonderful experience—Candice, Dan, and I got to watch Marina and Stella sing and dance in their school musical, Mary Poppins.  They are really good actors!

Marina is the dancer in the gold dress with the white sash and Stella is wearing the white dress with the blue sash:






And we got to give Candice, Marina, and Stella Real Hugs!


Stella and Marina are still in their costumes from one of the final scenes of Mary Poppins, where they are singing and dancing at the bank.


Hannah and Mila arrived from Russia over a month and a half ago, after three years of maneuvering through the immigration process and delays caused by the pandemic. Now Owen and Mila and their daughter are together every day.  

We are so happy, but we expect that they are walking on the clouds.

Here is Hannah playing at the Pacific Ocean for the first time.

And here she is playing with Wilder, Ida, and Alden, her cousins who live on the Olympic Peninsula.

Mila, Owen, and Hannah are driving down to Arizona to see us in January.  We are so very excited to get to give our new daughter and Hannah Real Hugs for the first time….and we will get to play with our precious little granddaughter!
