Start Your Engines

The sun was out for nearly the entire day! This was the first truly sunny day in the three plus weeks we've been here. It's also the first glimpse of any sun in eight days.

We had good visits with the boys. Matthew seems to be maturing before our eyes. He is very excited about the upcoming trip. Thomas is young for his age and doesn't seem to have a clue.

We got a call at 6:15pm suggesting the passports were ready and we could take the boys to Kyiv tomorrow. Normally that would be great, but there is no flight for us before Saturday so we'd rather spend a night here where we know and like the city, and have decent accomodations at a lower price. Also, I had a bunch of socks and undergarments soaking in the bathtub and we have no dryer.

Yes, we do like Khmelnytskyi and are even a little sad to leave though we are very excited to return home with the boys and get on with our life as a family. God has truly blessed us.

I love the new pictures of the boys - and the other pictures too. It is good to see that you will have fond memories of the city. I am not trying to scare you but exactly how do you manager two young boys on such a long trip? Let me know when you figure it out. Only a few days until you are home. Have a very uneventful safe trip.
