September 1st is the first day of school over here in Ukraine, so we went to share the experience with the kids up at the Orphanage. After the ceremony and the traditional 'ringing of the bell' the kids changed out of their school uniforms and into their tye-dye shirts that we made with them a few weeks ago. We had a great time loving on the kids and playing with them. I succeeded (very rare) in making several sugar cookies into shapes of butterflies, shooting stars, & hearts. We also brought them flowers and then played outside with the other kids at the school for aobut an hour. They are now in 3rd grade! Please pray that they all do well in their studies this year.
