Precious Moments

Here are just a few moments with my little boys that melt my heart:

1.) I was pretending to fall asleep on the bed in the room (because I was getting exhausted with their rowdiness). They thought it was hilarious and hid themselves in the corner so when I "woke" up I wouldn't be able to find them. The best part is that one of my little guys ran up to the bed and gave me a kiss on the cheek and told me good night. Then, the other boy in the room ran up and did the same thing! 

2.) Sometimes we are fortunate to have a little break from playing with the boys and they get to watch Tom şi Jerry. I sat down on the couch and the boys were on the floor. Then one of the boys gets up and asks to sit on my lap. How could I turn him down? 

3.) My boys like to be tickled. After just a week of working with them they know that I am going to tickle them. Sometimes they will just walk up to me with their arms up. Basically saying, "I want to be tickled". They get what they ask for and crumple in laughter on my lap. 

I love all six of the little guys that I get to work with every day! There are so many other precise moments that make all of the hardships worth it. I can't explain how much I have witnessed and learned from these two weeks I have been in Romania! And there is so much more to come...

Romanian Nightlife

What a fun night! We went to the mall in Iasi to go see The Avengers. Well let's just say they have a great mall! Thank you, Romania! We also went to McDonalds for dinner and can I just say it is nice to have some American food. The Avengers was such a good movie especially with Romanian subtitles. The only problem was when I couldn't understand the language they were speaking or the subtitles! My favorite part was the shout out to Romania when shoarma was mentioned! (side note: shoarma is delicious!) And to top the night off we had a hilarious taxi ride home. Our taxi driver spoke a little English and so we were just chatting with him. He said that he thought when he spoke English it sounded like he had a Russian accent (I didn't hear the accent that much). We ended up asking him where he thought we were from. His response, "I have no idea" (shocking huh?). After a couple seconds of silence he chimes in "wait, wait, wait, i know where you're from.....RUSSIA!" It was hilarious and he thought he was hilarious which made it even more funny. Once the laughter died down he said, "But really I think I know where you are from........... RUSSIA!" Again he thought he was the funniest person alive. Thank you taxi driver for having a great sense of humor and topping off such a great night!
