Russians Day 3

The girls spent the day at Girl's Camp with the ward in Alpine. I spent the day at work and got home just in time to see this: Ola came up the stairs and then dramatically dropped to her knees and crawled all the way from the stairs to her bedroom, stopping to "fall asleep" on the floor along the way, and saying "Spakonanoche" (goodnight). She chatters in Russian and acts everything out. It's so understandable I forget she's not speaking English. She's like one of those mimes at the circus only way way better.We were up until 2 in the morning one night watching her stories. She had us all in stitches. You listen to that husky voice and how she throws every ounce of that tiny scrappy body into acting things out how her eyes light up when she's telling you things, and how she makes you laugh because she's so clever and creative and you sort of fall in love with her. instantly.

Also tonight, Ben helped them all set up e-mail addresses so we can k.i.t.: They love Ben.

I seriously felt guilty being at work because I kept thinking about the girls and missing them, and thinking I should have just rescheduled the voice lessons for after they left. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
