Everyone got a good night sleep! There are two of us who are "morning people". We'll give you one hint - their combined age is eight.
Yesterday we spent time at the American clinic and the boys got checked out. The Ukrainian doctor was awesome. She said that the boys' high level of activity is an excellent sign. Matthew had a chest x-ray because "tuberculosis infection" was in his file. The x-ray was clear, but he has a heart murmur that will require further investigation.
The embassy was all about tight security, paperwork, and payment in new uncirculated dollars. When Matthew showed interest in Old Glory we said "America". He saw 4 more flags and pointed and shouted "Amelika!" We're working on "R" sounds.
Thomas sat in the hall amusing everyone who understands the language. We can't wait until he starts English.
We go back to the embassy this afternoon for an immigration interview and hopefully pick up their visas.
We want to get home so badly, that just being at the embassy where our flag flies feels great.

So excited for you both and happy that your family will be home soon. We've relived many of our own kids' experiences reading about the boys. Now you'll totally understand why we've been dazed and confused the last 14 years. We can only wish the same to you! Can't wait to meet the boys. Safe travels back home - see you soon - KDBKC Gleason
