We had great visits with the boys. There was light snow and everything was wet so we didn't spend much time outside.
Taking an objective look, it seems we may have two of the loudest kids at the orphanage, and they're full of personality. It promises to be a fun flight back to JFK.
After the morning visit we found a department store and bought the boys shoes and jackets. There's lots more to buy as they leave the orphanage with absolutely nothing except perhaps a pair of undies.
I'd like to get Ellen a coat in the local fashion as they are striking. We found a black leather jacket with a black mink collar and mink cuffs - it was stunning on Ellen. Ellen has an issue with fur so I explained this was mink that had been hit by cars in Vermont but she doesn't believe that. We'll keep looking.
There are a lot of stray dogs here. We saved the meat bones from yesterday's borsch, cut off the meat and gave it to a puppy near the hotel. It's another cutie we'd like to bring home, but we're not sure about the passport photo session.

So the boys are loud?! Wouldn't that just be considered being a normal kid? I think they're just sooo excited to have found their mom & dad!! Perhaps they're a bit young to fully understand all that this opportunity means to them, but they must know this is something special!! The four of you are truly blessed!
I like kids with energetic personalities. That is a nice spark of happiness.
Can't wait for all of you to come home! We are looking forward to meeting the boys. Billy has already mentioned bikes for the boys - I'm hoping it's the ones without motors!
Dear Ellen & Chris, The boys are adorable! In my opinion, they even look like "Kellys". I'm truly happy for you and wish you all much happiness and many blessings! Love, Norma
P.S. With regard to that gorgeous coat you described, do you need a shipping address?
I think Ellie is right about the mink. I remember when a lot of people wore naugahyde. And now naugas are pretty much extinct. Go Ellie!
