Hi Everyone,
We're back in Kiev waiting for passports. We picked up the kids Wednesday AM hoping that the passports would be available in Kiev Thursday. They weren't so now it's sit and wait time.
When we arrived at the orphanage Nicholas spotted the new clothes and couldn't wait to get changed. Tanya is a monkey see monkey do sorta kid so she followed right along. After a few hugs and goodbyes we left the place without a tear, or backward glance. We took the train late in the afternoon and Nicholas said bye bye Khmelnitsky, and hello Kiev. I told him as we waited to board that this was his last chance to change his mind. He shook his head no "Hello Canada!"
Our new apartment is very nice. Kitchenette, hot water, dishwasher, microwave, TV, clothes washer. Corrine gave the kids a bath and was told that this was the first warm bath they had every had. I told him the water was near freezing in Canada, then took out some ice cubes and pretended to wash. He wasn't impressed.
We had supper last night with the 2 other couples that we arrived with. Nick and Linda are leaving Saturday with their twin boys. They are a pair of good looking kids very friendly, and playful. They seem to have a lot of the same character traits our kids have. We chocked it up to orphanage living. So come Sunday we'll be down to Jo-anne, and Carlee (daughter 8) to hang with along with Vitaly. Their very nice from Dauphin and still waiting for another appt. to meet a child. So I guess we don't have it so bad.
We don't know for sure when the passports will come through. We are hoping for early next week, but there are no guarantee's, once we get them we have to get citizenship papers, then grab the next flight out of here. I have played around with the comments section again trying to make it easier to post, We heard from our friends here that they were having trouble. So I hope it's working.

Hi Guys
Like they say, the best things in life are worth waiting for...or something like that. Buddy is a little concerned about the length of this holiday you guys are on. He's thinking you better have a good reason! Won't he be pleasantly surprised! We miss you guys & can't wait to have you back and to meet our niece & nephew. Say hi to the kids from us.
See you soon

Hi guys,
Glad to hear you're hanging in there. We can't wait to meet Tanya and Nicholas! Also glad to hear you're in better living conditions. I keep trying to leave comments, but it doesn't seem to work--maybe i'm doing something wrong. Anyway--take care and hope you get home soon.

Hi Corrine and Rob,
Just recently opened my e-mail and realized you had sent us your web site address. Sorry, I don't check my e-mail too often. Mom and I have read most of your postings. Hope you will soon be able to get the documents you need and will return home safely with Nicholas and Tanya. We are thinking of you and pray that things will go well. God Bless! See you soon, Love Aunty Susie and Cousin Michelle
Hi Folks,
What beautiful children! Nicholas and Tanya look so sweet. It will not be long before you are all home.
Take care,
