We bust the boys out of the orphanage tomorrow at about 12:15 pm, which is 5:15 am EST. From there we head to Kyiv and should arrive around 5:00 pm. We don't think they've ever been in a car this long, so it will be interesting seeing how they travel. tomorrow night will also be their first night away from the orphange in almost 3 years.
Matthew is very excited about the trip, and outside today we pointed out a con-trail from a jet and told him it was an airplane. It was he who pointed out the next con-trail to us.
Last night, Chris felt like a cold was coming on. This morning he felt bad and it was 50/50 if he'd make it through the day. Outside and at the orphange, things were OK. We are hopeful it is an allergy and is unrelated to the bird flu outbreak south of here.
It was the second consecutive sunny day - unprecedented. The locals say this city is much nicer in the summertime with lots of green and many flowers in bloom. We believe them. It would be nice to visit here again.

We wish you a safe trip tomorrow. Do you think the boys know the expression "Are we there yet?"
Can't imagine how excited you all must be.
With Love,
Tom and Joan
Dear Chris and Ellen,
Finally....what joy to hear of your return home. I know you must leave with mixed emotions, but happiness in your hearts to have two children that you have anticipated for such a long time. May you feel the warmth of loved ones here as you travel and know many prayers are going up for your safe return. Safe travel
Sincerely,
Jan & Steve
