Happy Groundhog Day

We haven't heard the news as to whether or not the groundhog saw his shadow. Our days here in Khelmyniskyi, however, are in many ways, a lot like the movie. We just keep living the same day over and over. One thing that does change is the many facets of the boys' personalities that we continue to discover. There is so much that we want to know and understand about them. The nurses and staff at the orphanage are amazing and, clearly, have a wealth of knowledge to share. Not being able to speak the same language, though, we do our best to figure things out by observation or trial and error. It's tough, but we're a strong team. Good thing, because this is a whole lot of togetherness!

On another note, the internet connection on the 12th floor is not working and will hopefully be fixed on Monday. What that means is we can't post pictures until then, just text.

Sorry to hear that the Saturday pictures are delayed, we will be patient. I was thrilled that the nurses have been great, our profession sticks together---even if we are half a world apart.
Hope you and the boys are enjoying the weekend.
Tom and I send our love to all.
