Braud boy #5 on the way!

He is due on July 2nd and we are so excited!! His name is Vlad, is 9 years old and is from Belaruse. He will only be staying with us for the month of July, but hopefully, he will return every year. It is part of an organization called The Children's Chernobyl Program of Chattanooga, http://www.ccpgc.org/index.htm. They bring children over every summer to help boost their immune system, give them fresh air and teach them about God. It is going to be an adventure, for sure. I am just looking forward to seeing the world from the eyes of a child who has never seen much of what we have in the USA. I hope we can be a good influance on him and give him hope. Their lives in Belaruse can be rather dim with all of the people dying from cancer from radiation exposure from the Chernobyl disaster.
