This past weekend has been a good one. Katya is adjusting to family life here in the US. She is also making a circle of friends. There are some awesome young girls (ladies actually) that have made Katya feel so welcome and loved. There is Tori, whose house she stayed at Saturday night with two of Tori's friends; Hannah and Jackie. She had a great time.
Then there is our granddaughter, Mariah (almost 14). She spent Sunday night with Mariah and her younger brother Josh.
On Friday when we registered Katya in Middle School, Ana came and translated for Katya and me. She has such a sweet and gentle spirit about her that Katya felt at ease. Katya didn't want Ana to go when we dropped Ana off at her house.
Last night things went well preparing for school. When Katya saw the supplies and other things we bought for school she actually started getting "into" it ! ! ! She started sorting pencils and pens and packing them in her backpack. She took a shower and let Beverly blow dry her hair.
Everything went well UNTIL she had to go to bed (I think it was nerves actually).
She was up on her own this morning and even cooked her own eggs and meat (hot dog).
We are sitting here waiting for the time to roll-out.
I'll post again about how the first day went.
Oh I forgot to mention sweet Paulina. She translated on the phone yesterday about what the school rules are and what to expect. Paulina has one of those sweet calming natures too.
Out for now.....
