All the babies from the little children's home are out in their respective foster families for Holy Week. Our staff got their salaries early and they're off for a week of holidays.

So, after a rather long day of sorting these things out, we sat down to a lovely dinner (of borsch) on the patio under a (nearly) full moon to celebrate my birthday.

Aubrey and I have been playing tennis together recently. (He just got his first real racket.) So, his gift to me was this picture of us playing together.

If it is that you're reading this and don't have children: a child's picture of you spending time with them is maybe the greatest present you could receive.
