Lucas in Russia and Mom's Birthday

I am so excited as Lucas is coming Thursday and will be here for 5 weeks. We will quickly introduce him to Russia as we will be going to the Bonya with the new group of volunteers this Friday, Nadia's dacha to plant flowers and grill out on Sunday, and we will be attending a performance by Liza's dance class on Saturaday afternoon. We also have tickets to 2 different symphonies and plan to attend at least one Shinnick (Yaroslavl's soccer team) game. I have also arranged for him to take some langague lessons from Irina and he is signed up for the CCS volunteer program for two weeks beginning May 26th. And we hope to spend one long weekend in St Petersburg and one eekend in Moscow.
I will take plenty of pictures. :)

Happy Birthday Mom!!
С Днём Рождения Мама!!
