FINAL DAYS COUNTDOWN

Thanks to everyone who prayed for us to make the Friday flight. We are on flight home for Friday Jan 12th. We cannot wait. It has been very difficult to get on the internet as the children are off from school and tie up the computers playing games.

Caleb is doing well. He says some things in English. I told him "turtle" and he said it. It gets difficult to entertain him for two hours at a time without much to play with. The attention span of 2 year olds isn't much with the same couple of toys for 3 weeks.

Our current plan is to leave here on Wednesday by taking the overnight train to Kiev. We should arrive there around 7:00 am. We will probably go to a flat to freshen up and then off to the US Embassey and to get Caleb's physical. We will hopefully get to bed early so we will be ready to get up early to be at the airport by4:00 am. I will be too excited to sleep so I am not too worried about oversleeping. Then we will heading back to US soil.

We will try to blog again before leaving here on Wednesday or Thursday in Kiev if we get a chance.

Yesterday we purchased the toys for the orphanage that they requested. We are hoping to have a party for Caleb and the children on Tuesday. We will take juice, fruit, and cookies. We are planning to give them the toys then.

Love to you all
