Ruthy and I signed up to help with the once a month visit to the orphanage of handicapped children with some of our high school students. Here we are on the mini bus they rented to take us all.

Ruthy is in love with the mountains around here and took this picture of the snow capped mountains.

Here we are making butterflies and paper snails with some of the mobile kids.

Ruthy and her two new friends. One is sitting on the floor beside her as they make butterflies.

Linda with a group of the kids.

Here is the girl sitting by Ruthy that we are helping. She does not walk or talk but is so sweet and knows how to create a work of art.

This little girl was loving the pink car we had brought and were playing with her. When we left her in the play group she scooted all the way down the hall to the craft room so I would play car with her again.

Here is one of our high school kids helping out.

Ruthy having fun on their in door slide.

This boy begged for a picture with all of us workers because he knows that we bring copies back of the pictures and hand them out so he wanted as many pictures as he could get the next time we came.

Robert, Josiah, Ruthy and I are going back Dec. 13th and are part of a mini concert. We are singing Christmas carols in Russian and English as part of the show. There will be break dancing and a puppet show as well. So look for good upcoming pictures of that.
