Friday in Sumy

Well, today we're just running around town getting paperwork signed and all that fun stuff. We met a couple yesterday at the orphanage, Nina and Tim from Indiana that are adopting a precious little boy that just happens to be Kolya's good friend. They're both 6 and we all played hard. Wow, I didn't realize how much excercise you can get by swinging kids around and playing horsey, I know one fat horse that was ready to be put in the barn!!!! After we left the kids, we all ended up at a pizza joint last night eating pizza and drinking beer for Thanksgiving. We laughed about making it a new tradition for now on, every Thanksgiving we'll have Borscht and pizza!!!! Hopefully we'll all stay in touch back in the states and the boys will remain friends.

As we mentioned earlier, we had also met a couple when we were in Kiev from South Carolina, Rob and Lisa that are trying to adopt a little boy from another region. We're so lucky to have met such good people on this trip and hopefully everything will work out for them and we'll stay in touch as well. Rob and Lisa, if you're reading this our prayers are with you....Good Luck!!!
I have already e-mailed Dan at Red River Scuba back home and told him to get ready because we have a new addition to the swim lessons!!!!! We're really looking forward to seeing Kolya react to the "New World" that's out there and just simple pleasures like eating an apple that we take for granted is really appreciated by some people. Life is good....

We are jealous!!! You actually get to spend time in a room with multiple kids. We have to take Valeriy into a long hallway with a couple couches and no toys other than what we brought. Oh, and they don't want him to get on the floor!!! So, we have to sit on the couch or walk up and down the hallway.

We are glad to hear things are going so well for you. We are getting more comfortable with the situation here and hope that all goes well with the doctor on Monday. We'll try to give you a call tomorrow.
