Leaving Tomorrow - Friday, Feb. 6th, 2009

Well tomorrow is the big day, Roger and I are leaving for New York and then off to Kiev, Ukraine. It is hard to believe this is really happening. We are going to have a new member of the family, a girl. Thank goodness for all the support of our family and friends, we could not have gotten to this point with out them.
Thanks you Robbin, Cathy, Pam and Len.

The hardest part will be leaving Ben behind. Aunt Cathy arrived today, she will be staying at the house with Ben, Alice and Sox. And Aunt Robbin will be around to help.

We will arrive in Kiev on Saturday morning and be there for a few days, have our first "court date" and then head for Sevastopol.

Right now we are going to try to get some sleep. HA. We will try to post more when we get settle in Kiev.

Kelley and Roger.

  5. Finally got back on line - internet problem since last rain and wind. I am so happy for all of you. Love her little heart. When I first saw the pics of her her eyes looked so sad but now I feel she knows what a loving family she is going to and her world is going to be a happy one. Loved the story of the pictures she made and that she enjoyed UNO and I Spy. You know how much our love is with all of you.
