Busy Day

It was another busy day in Krivoy Rig, Syvette is amazing, she has worked so very hard to get all of our paperwork completed and we have a court date along with Dusty and Tina on Friday Dec. 10. That is way ahead of schedule. We changed our flights to come home early and booked our flight to return. We will be home Dec. 12th and we leave again on Dec. 18 to bring the children home. We will be flying home Jan. 1 with the children!!!!

Today we visited all the children at the orphanage and gave the gifts that parents sent. We took pictures of everyone for you to see, they were all excited to recieve their gifts it was an early Christmas. Andre was so sweet he loved the hugs and made up quickly with us when he saw us. He looks so cute holding his gift from mama and papa it looks alomost as big as him. He grinned and his eyes sparkled when we handed him the gift and said it was from mama and papa in America. Dema was excited to know his papa and mama would be arriving in the Ukkraine in 5 days, he had a huge smile on his face and started speaking excitedly in Russian. He seems like he has really grown Eric and Cindy are going to have a true farm boy. Andre and Denis are as tiny as ever. LOL Nostya was napping when we went to see her so she was not real excited, we will go back tomorrow to see her again.

Today the children spoke on Skype to Inna,Lillian and the Roses. Tomorrow we are having a birthday party for Nostya with pizza, cake, ice crewm and coaca cola. We are also planning to skype her family, so be by the computer at 10:00 AM Russ and Cheri.

We had to select the children's names today. Eddick desires to be called Erik when he comes to America amd Lena will keep her name. For middle names we chose Lael for Lena and Josiah for Erik.

Sunday we have made plans to take Dema, Eddick and Lena to the ice hockey rink skating then out for dinner.

Monday we have a trip planned to go to the art store with the art teacher from the orphanage to buy supplies for the art program.

We will also be visiting an art exhibit sometime this week with Lena's work on display. It will be a very busy week.

I am posting some pictures and will write again tomorrow. The two girls are the sisters I spoke about in yesterday's blog that need a family. Lindy and Doug this blog is for you I couldn't resist putting multiply pictures of Andre he is such a cutie. Sandi and James Denis is in the yellow shirt. Eric and Cindy Dema has grown and his eyes are sparkling about you coming.
