Yep, we really are going and NO we are not bringing back any more kids. I'm sure it will be tempting but our family is officially closed. Amen says the papa.
We are leaving shortly to go on a missions trip back to the orphanage where Yuri came from. Children's home #3 in Zaporyzhzhia. We will do some odd jobs and get a chance to minister to the kids there as well as deliver some backpacks and toothbrushes and such. We will also have one day at Sonechko baby house where Vanya was to bless the babies and say hello to those we already know.
Short post since it is 3am and I'm still packing! Wish us safe travels and good health and if you want the blow by blow we have another blog at www.8toukraine.com which we will be updating while we are there.
The boys are very excited and I don't think they really know what to expect. Yuri asked if he was going to sleep in his old bed: Absolutely not says the mama! He still wanted to know if someone else might be sleeping there and I told him there was a good possibility that there was but that his home is now with us and he won't ever spend the night there again. He was pretty happy with that answer. The other boys just ant to be wherever mama and papa are. I think Victor was a little offended that we weren't going to "his house" but I explained that it was too far away but maybe another time (and maybe in another life) we might go there.
That it for now from the desk of one tired mama looking forward to getting on that plane and crashing. Papa will have plane duty.

Hi Laura, We are in Ukraine. Chose a referral for 3 boys, yes 3 boys! They are about an hour or so from Kiev. We travel tommorrow to meet the youngest two (22 months and 4 years). The oldest is away at camp and will return to the region next week. We will be in Kiev all weekend, if you will be around.

Laura you are way behind in your writing. i am a friend of your mothers and have read about the boys since you and she went over to get them but it's been over a month since you have written any thing. I hope you are well.
