Christmas Day

We got to talk to Tanya this morning and she is doing well, she is healthy and happy.
She has a birthday coming soon, January 26. Madison got to talk the most of course, but it was nice to hear her voice and know she is doing well. Twenty four days till our SDA appointment, we are allmost ready. The family that we know from Lexington that is there now ran into some problems with Interpol like we did and they had court today so I hope all went well. I hope this finds everyone well and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

1 Month and 5 Days till travel

Trying to be patient but it is getting harder to do. Christmas is just 2 weeks away and the first Grandson will be her before you know it. A whole lot of things still to happen before we leave. Can't wait to get back to the Ukraine and see the friends we made while there last time and visit with all the kids at Gargarina. Well not much more to say just getting inpatient.

Corespondence with Tanya

We know a family from Lexington that is in Simferopol adopting and they have been nice enough to pass along our letters to Tanya and it has been great to hear that she is doing well. I think they are spoiling her a little. She is excited and ready for us to get there. We have one month and twelve days and a lot of stuff still needs to happen before we go. The Colts did not fair so well in the state game but we are proud of them just for being in it, a school with 267 kids that go out and accomplish what they have is tremendous. Well I hope to have more news soon.

Finally

We finally have a travel date, I was beginning to wonder if it was going to come full circle. I need to get word to Tanya she is getting a little discouraged because it is taking so long to get back. We told Madison and she is very excited! The date is a lot later than we wanted but it is all working out for the best, Allison is due on the 10th and that gives us a little cushion with time if she drags it out a little. (I hope she is reading this) We have been very busy with Madison and school and Zachs' football team, they will be playing in the state championship game this Friday at 4:00. Anyone who followed our blog from before know about the Desales Colts and the great season they started off with, well they have done great and we need one more win. I put a counter at the top of the page to remind us of the short period of time till we travel and start this wild unorthodox process again. Well I hope this find everyone well and it will be a little slow at first but I'm sure it will get wild in the end.
Love Jeff & Donna
