Wow there surely is never a dull moment! With 8 children and 10 grandchildren there is always something going on. Artur is home as most of you all know, all the children and us adults all enjoyed getting together to welcome him to America. This past Sunday everyone came to our farm and we had a fishing rodeo for the kids. We stocked our pond with trout and the kids fished most of the afternoon.
Lena and Erik have started school and seem to be adjusting well. Tyrone Area School District has been great in meeting the kids needs. They have gone above and beyond to assist the kids in having a positive experience at school, I am very pleased so far. Lena got accepted into the Art Studio program and she loves it.The school has paired both Erik and Lena with some great kids to help assist them during times like lunch.
Saturday we are heading to Disney World for a week and then a stop in Georgia on the way home to visit some friends and to do some turkey hunting and fishing. I am looking forward to some warm sunny weather!

Fun In America
It has been awhile since we have blogged and am not real sure if anyone will even read this blog. We wanted to give an update as to life after adoption.
Lena and Erik are adjusting to American life. This past week we have been visiting the beaches of Florida in Panama City. Ana, Lena and Erik all love the water and have never seen the ocean so they are really enjoying themselves. We are here as a family for Heather's spring break. All of the family except Russ and Cheri's family are here (they just arrived back from Ukraine with Vika and Anslee and were not up to another trip just yet). So 15 of us set out for Florida.
Swimming, enjoying the beach, Seafood (Erik and Lena LOVE crab legs), scooters, bungee bouncing, painting pottery, lots of good food, visiting friends in Alabama (great meal at Hunt's with Mike Goodson & Tim Reeves), and much more. The weather is not real warm for Florida, but great compared to PA and the kids are all tanned and enjoying swimming every chance they get in the condo's heated pool.
