On Day four at the orphanage (Sunday), we only got one

visit but as you can see, Grampy had a wonderful time

with his new Grandson. After the morning visit, we
took a tour outside of Kazan of the Monastery which was

absolutely beautiful inside. Unfortunately, we were unable

to take pictures of the inside. The weather in Russia remains

unseasonably warm but the term "unseasonably warm" is
nothing like we think of in Florida. It is not 85 instead of 80

but 38 instead of 18! It is cold and dreary but not snowing.

It is typically overcast all day and gets completely dark around

3:00. This Monday Morning, it rained but thestreets are

empty as it is a Muslim Holiday. Approximately half of the
population is Muslim and the other half is Russian Orthodox.

We took a morning visit to the orphanage and Kyle is starting

to recognize his Mommy which, as you can imagine, puts a big

smile on my face!!!! We appreciate your thoughts and prayers

while we are in Kazan.
