We'll be leaving in a few hours for our 11 hour train ride to Myklayiv
(yeah, that's the name we couldn't remember yesterday). Thanks for
all of the posts - we really appreciate all your comments and
encouragement. Yes, Justin, a name change is in order - wise guy.
Diana - tell Michaela that though this is a great new experience for us,
I wouldn't say we're really having fun yet. The weather is very cold
(seems about like midJanuary back home weatherwise) and we're
missing the kids terribly. However, we do feel we're right where
we're supposed to be, so that's a good thing.
We do plan to post some pictures when we can - we forgot the USB
cable for Julie's digital camera, but we can take pictures with our video
cam as well, so hopefully after we meet Oxsana tomorrow we'll have
internet access and will figure out how to upload them.
That's all for now. We'll hopefully be able to post again tomorrow to let
you know how it goes at the orphanage in Mykolayiv.

Hi Steve and Julie,
Lisa and I have been reading your blog every day so far. It sounds interesting but also very grueling. Cold gray weather, eleven hour train rides, and the poverty of an ex-communistic country doesn't sound like my idea of a "dream trip". (you'll need one when you get back) However the prospect of getting a little girl is very exciting! Lisa didn't think she would be able to sleep last night she was so excited. She wants to see the little girl now. She can't wait. Don't be bummed about the weather it as actually quite cold here also. In fact it is snowing right now and even beginning to accumulate. 1 to 4 inches are predicted for today. Talk to you again soon. Praying for you also. Goodbye for now.
Hi!! everyone here is so excited that you are getting closer to bringing home your daughter.I'm praying for you. Love from all your family in Canada.
Hi Steve and Julie,
Just wanted you guys to know how much we enjoy reading your blogs and keeping up with all the news :) We are so excited for you and your little girl! We are taking good care of your boys here in NH!!!!! Justin did an awesome job with his skit on Sunday, but I told him to be prepared to do it again for Mom and Dad when they get back :) I am praying the time goes by fast and smooth for you guys. God Bless
Brian and Lindsey
What a noble purpose. You are exactly where you are supposed to be. Thinking and preying for you all.
Hi Steve and Julie,
We have been following your journey in the Ukrain and are praying that everything goes well and that you will be bringing Oxsana home soon.
