Dear Matushka Christina,
We had a great time and as you can see, we made it home safely. Thanks for having us over for pizza last night after Anastasia and I spent the day exploring the historical places around town. Also thanks for allowing Anastasia to borrow those books. She read them on the way home and really liked them a lot. It helped make the drive less boring for her too. 
Dear in Christ Nicholas,
You are very welcome! We had a wonderful time and hope to see you again. The girls think Anastasia is a great friend. I am glad that she liked the books, I understand how hard it can be to have nothing to do on a long journey.
Please share with us any books that Anastasia has enjoyed so that the girls can read them. Catherine finished Gathered Radience and really liked it. Helen is reading Letters to a Beginner (again) and Alexandra is somewhere in the midst of Mother Miriams many titles.
In Christ,
Matushka Christina
Dear Matushka Christina,
Anastasia and the girls bonded really quick and she loves having the chance to come down and visit them. She said she wishes her friends up here were like them. Our copy of "Gathered Radiance" is in the car, which is still in the shop getting fixed! :ohvey: I have been considering getting "Letters to a Beginner" to review for the children's book of the month at the Cafe's portal. Anastasia has read the last 2 Lives of the saints books about the Holy Women Martyrs and Spiritual Mothers. The other ones are a lot slower going books and hard for children to get in to sometimes, due to the heavy theological content. Nonetheless they are excellent!
Please tell the girls hello from Anastasia. She misses them much. Hope to see you all again soon.
Dear all,
I would like to thank you for your many prayers for our daughter, Helen. She has had no seizures since the 17th of January.
Upon moving to CO she was seen by a doctor, who went out of her way to help us. The doctor's brother died at 5 years of age from epilepsy, so she was very concerned about Helen's future.
Glory be to God! I am so grateful for His blessing to Helen.
With love in Christ,
Matushka Christina
