The Renno’s are here!
Hi Friends!
For the next two weeks we have the priviledge of a visit from Katrina’s family; her parents, sister and one brother! Bill, Sharon, Rachel and Jason all arrived on Thursday. We are so happy and thankful that they have come to visit us. Yesterday was spent relaxing and letting them get adjusted to the time zone. Today we went to Red Square, saw St. Basil’s and went inside, the Kremlin, and we saw the changing of the guards which we have a video of on our youtube channel. Then we walked down to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, went inside the church and as we were leaving they were ringing the bells up in the bell towers. It sounded really pretty! Afterwards, we ate at a Russian restaurant to let them get a taste of the food here.
It was a fun and tiring day, but we are so happy to have them here!

The past few days…
Micah doing paperwork for Keira's passport and helping Violet with a puzzle
Failed attempts at Keira’s passport picture. We had to have taken about 50 pictures to finally get a good one. Don’t worry, we did get a decent one.
Up until today, I was proud to say that Violet had never drawn on the walls with crayons
One Week Old
Today our little Keira is a week old! We are all adjusting really well. The first night home, I was up pretty much the whole night with her, but the last two nights have gone way better. I’ve been trying to keep her on a 3 hour feeding schedule, but sometimes that’s really hard to do when your baby just will not wake up! She loves to sleep! At night I’ve been letting her sleep a little more and have been going about 5 hours between feedings. And during the day I try to keep her awake, when she’s supposed to be awake so she doesn’t get confused about day and night. That’s what it seemed happened the first night. Not fun.
Violet loves having her around too. I’m so glad she has been taking everything really well. She gives Keira hugs and kisses all the time, and when her and Micah come in from outside she always ask, “Where’s baby?”. I can’t wait to see them playing together when they are bigger.
