Igor is here!

It seems like we've been waiting forever, but Igor is finally here. He's darling! We were all surprised at how tall he is--much taller than the pictures on his student application. He informed us he was 11 in those pictures. :-) (He's now 15 years old and about 6'1")

He has pretty clear blue eyes and a wonderful smile that he has shown us lots of during his first evening here. He and Elisa actually look like they could really be brother and sister.

He fits right in and the kids have had a great time with him. He and Caleb have already teamed up on Elisa-- Igor held her while Caleb tickled her. I think Caleb is going to enjoy this!

His English is great and we all love his accent. I believe this will be a new accent for Brad to add to his collection and I have no doubt that he will have it down pat very soon.
