Home Again

We arrived home safely Friday evening about 9:00 PM after a long day of travel. Today has been a day of getting readjusted to our time zone, unpacking and shoveling snow. The coldest part of our trip was arriving at JFK last evening! Over the next few days and weeks we will be sending a few additional pictures and sharing different aspects of our trip. We wanted to show first of all some of the photos of the environment which Yulia came from before arriving at Brenna's Home 5 or 6 weeks ago with a few photos of how comfortable she was with us before we left to come home.


Yulia in her village home when found by Valla,
the woman who "rescued" her to Brenna's Home.


The house where lived with her mother and "father"

The "kitchen" and stove in the home


The outdoor toilet...

The "laundry" area...


Valla and Yulia after arriving at Brenna's Home


Donna gives Yulia a bath Thursday night before leaving. Yulia specifically requested that "Mama Donna" give her a bath in the tub before we left.


Thursday night at church Yulia fell asleep in Rich's lap while Donna was speaking. Katia (on left) and Halla (on the right with Karen Quimby) are the older girls at Brenna's Home.

We think these few pictures really sum up why we are committed to Brenna's Home. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers for a safe and productive trip.

Love, Rich and Donna
