Stefan was never a playing kid when we came here to Sweden, but nowadays I can see the different kid running around! Stefan has changed so significantly during this season that I don't recognize him sometimes. He loves to play with other kids on the base, every day they all together run like crazy and Stefan is often starting this running contest. It looks like kids enjoy company of each other and me and Irina we love it. Stefan still has almost no language skills to communicate with his friends but he's getting there. Today he was running around with the neighbor Korean girl and they've got into little shop on the base, where different sweets are sold, and we heard both kids screaming there in ENGLISH: Candy! Candy! Kids are teaching each other new language, and they are doing great job.

2009 is here and we are doing good. In the begining of this year we still had a Christmas break (or whatis left of it from 2008). There are a few things that are already planned for this new year and we want to visit Russia at Summer. Also we want to get some transporfation means for our family - since we mentioned before about our fitting in the car problem. To get a car we firstly have to get a driver license, so that is also in agenda. Our kids ar planning to rapidly grow, and this is beyong our influence.

This is just a beginning of the year and we alre ady thinking about so many things. Well, let's see what will be tomorrow.

P.S. If you are interested to see our kids you can visit our photos page but remember that it is still in work so things can be a little slow.

Dear friends, I cannot say that we are doing bad financially in these days but we are four now and need a prayer for our future support. We need to raise 3-5 thousands kroner until the end of 2009 That is one year to go from now, but prayer support is never a hindrance. Let us pray together for 3000 kroner till August 2009 and 2000 kroner more till the end of year. God is great and He provides everything we need at this time, so, let's pray for the future.

Our little son Stefan first time told prayer to Jesus couple of days ago. We are gathering to pray every evening as a family and usually mommy or daddy say a prayer but this time Stefan wanted to pray and he did. He thanked Jesus for his toys and for mommy reding books and daddy singing him songs. It was such a blessing for us to hear a little man praying so seriously. We were blessed indeed.
