Are you ready? Can you believe it?
It’s finally happened.
One of the Russian Federation has left the teenage years behind.
Yes, today is Dan’s 20th birthday!
This evening we had burgers at Fuddruckers to celebrate this auspicious occasion; here’s Dan opening the music-playing card I gave him:

The guys are too funny….a good deal of the meal was taken up by them showing each other the various photos and videos they’ve taken with their cell phones:
It’s amazing to think how quickly the past five years have gone by since Dan arrived home. Contrast this photo, taken by Karla, Dmitry’s host mother, during the Bright Futures’ Camp in Nov. of 2002, with the one following, taken this evening:
(Dan, Victor, Dmitry, Joe)Actually, Dan hasn’t changed that much….it’s Dmitry who would be rather difficult to identify now.
In any event, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAN!

Anne, you can tell Dmitry for me, that I always thought he was a cute kid, but he’s turning into a genuine HUNK!
blessings upon all of your pointy heads, and thank God for your generous heart, taking these young men in and loving them the way you do. The Lord has blessed us all in knowing you, Anne dear.:love:
