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
Jim & Jolynn

hi mom we are getting very exicited for your return. we have already move some things back to the house. we got here at 11 and plan to go back to grandmas at 6. i have to do homework on the internet so i thought to check your blog. our chain is getting very small. we still haven't gotten him a present yet. on tues we are getting halieys things for girl scouts, so we will look for one then. we brought snuggles with us so she could run around without a leash. she really loves it. we are ready to come home. we can't wait to see you. we hope you have a good trip home. hope you get some rest too.
Love, Brianna and Haliey
Hi,
Glad to hear you will be heading home soon with your son. My best wishes for smooth and uneventful travel on the 12th.
Hi Jolynn and Jim!!
It will be so nice to have you all home again. I know you cannot wait to get here too. Back to 'normal' (and a washing machine,....the things we take for granted??!!)
Anyway, my thoughts are with you. Hope everything goes well on your way home. Your bed misses you.:)
Love, Jenee'
Hi Guys,
I heard you had a blog and low and behold I found it no problem.
Congratulations! I'm glad that you've gotten everything handled and coming home. My co-worker, Teresa, just returned home (early) and her husband Jim Halbach and their new son will be coming home on Friday the 10th on at 6:50 am flight. That would be so cool if you ended up on the same flight. Your adoption and "freedom" days were the same though you adopted children from different parts of the country.
Have a safe trip home. God bless
Val
Hi!
