Down to the wire

Well it is 7 days till we travel and we are acting like there is nothing to do to get ready. We have been consumed with everything about paperwork and Eli and Madison and the boys and everything else but it is crunch time. We don't even have airline tickets to New York yet. We have a lot of details to figure out and I guess that is normal, it is going to be even harder this time leaving the boys and now Madison to.
As I write this it has been below freezing for 8 days now and in Simferopol the lows are mid forties and the highs fifty five to sixty, what a heart breaker. Best I can tell they have a much milder winter and the summers are lower humidity than ours also. About 8 or 9 days after we arrive Tanya has a birthday so we will get to celebrate that with her, we bought her a I-Pod nano and I have four or five Ukrainian Cd's to install with lots of pictures of family and home. Green is her favorite color and I was lucky enough to find one. Stay tuned in a few days thing will get busy here!
