7/17 - Dinner with Ilga & Janis

I had to work today so Rob stayed home with the kids. They helped him around the house and went grocery shopping with him to get ingredients for tonight’s dinner with Ilga and Janis. We had invited them for dinner since they hadn't been to our house yet and thought it would be fun to grill something out. I picked up Ilga and Janis on my way home from work. Ilga brought her video camera so she could take some pictures of our house and yard to show our kids’ childrens home director. She has offered to do whatever she can to help us through the process and we are so grateful.

Rob whipped up some steaks on the grill and they came out perfect as usual. We also enjoyed peel ‘n eat shrimp as an appetizer. I don’t think they had ever eaten shrimp before but they seemed to enjoy it. Rob also cooked corn on the cobb on the grill so Ilga and Janis got to try that for the first time too.

After dinner, we looked at pictures. Ilga brought some of her family and the kids shared their pictures with her. We ended the evening with a swim at our neighborhood pool. We had fun tossing a tennis ball around the pool to each other. It was just a fun evening with our new Latvian friends.
