We're in Kiev.

Well our first apartment guests just left. We hosted Kim and her new daughter Sashsa Botto! Actually we weren't such great hosts as they brought us pizza, toilet paper, cups and even a little chocolate for our bed pillows! Oh, I can't tell you how great it was to have them here. We were able to chat about life here (hoping it will be quick), cry a little and laugh a lot. Our driver, whose wife will be our facilitator was very nice. After a 17 hour flight, we were tired and a little overwhelmed, so hopefully we'll sleep well tonight. We talked to the kids (in KY) over Skype and actually got to see their beautiful faces. We love you three and miss you already!! Know we're sleeping under the same stars tonight (even though on different time zones). Kim and our head-dude facilitator guy are planning our day tomorrow. Not sure what it will be, but I can guarantee you we are happy to have them looking after us and Kim entertaining us. The work starts Monday. We'll have our SDA appt and then have to wait until evening to hopefully get our referral. Once we have the referral, we can travel to Khelmenitsky, the region where the kids are. We hope to be able to see them on Tuesday.
