Thank you!6 months have past.Matvei is learning English quickly. We are also learning Russian. He joined the baseball team at the local community center. He also plays baseball with Robert quite often. He has also made some friends in his Second Grade class. We are planning a trip to Russia next summer to visit his family. Emma is really sweet. She and Linnea get along well and like to play with each other. We read to her a lot and she can already read some simple books by herself. Thank you so much for these wonderful children!
