The last day we were in Ukraine, Ella and I went with a friend of mine to the park to let Ella play and expend some energy. She was doing great, swinging, playing, climbing and having a great deal of fun while I was taking pictures. The park was beautiful and right off the river....my friend asked if I had seen the river from the park...I hadn't. Just as I took a couple of steps towards the wall to take some pictures I heard screams - Ella's and my friend. Ella had tried to climb across the money bars without assistance in the blink of an eye. There was no time for my friend to have reached her and she fell flat on her face in the sand. It looked bad however, there was no broken bones, lost teeth or anything of that sort. She had a mouth full of sand, skinned her little face up and bruised her hip. It has since cleared up and there is no lasting scars.
This is right after the fall and clean up.

Jiminy! Why is it that kids scare the bejeebers out of you quicker than anything? Glad there was no real damage done.
We have similar pics of when we brought Alek home, although it wasn't as dramatic! :) Alek did great the whole ride over the Atlantic. He played, had fun, took a nap...he did just fine. Then on the final 1 hour leg of the trip he started screaming his head off...and then got a bloody nose. He got blood all over himself, all over Shad and me. In all of our pictures you see red marks all over our shirts, and Alek nose looks horrible. AUGH! At least we have an interesting story to tell. As of bringing him home from Russia wasn't interesting enough! :)
