It's kind of a slow news day. Still cloudy, much colder - the mud was frozen and that is good.
During a snack break, Matthew said "Thank you" without being prompted, and "please" came rather easily. This is a big breakthrough. Thomas managed a series of shrieks. Also, when Thomas's group was on their way to get weighed, Thomas was the only one to fall down (head first!) the concrete stairs. He showed no signs of injury. That's our boy!
The outline of the coming week is to depart for Kyiv, with the boys, on Wednesday. It's about 350 km (kids, do the conversion for your parents). Thursday and Friday are for the embassy and the American Clinic. Assuming all goes well, we can fly home Saturday.
Enjoy the pictures below.

Chris and Ellen,
You must be thrilled that you are in the final stretch of your journey. The week ahead sounds like it will be very busy, but we are sure it will fly by.
We have thoroughly enjoyed the daily updates; we check in as soon as we get home from work every night.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys.
Tom and Joan
Dear Ellen and Chris,
We hope you get a chance to read our message. We just viewed the blog today, February 13th. Our PC was acting up and we had to resolve the problems.
We loved reading the blog. Thomas and Matthew are very cute. We wish you well, and know that you will have a lifetime of happiness with your boys.
Love,
Elaine and Bob Anderson
