Sorry for the long absence on posts, we had the last four days of just wait time. We went on Friday, Satuday, Sunday and today out and explored here in Kiev. We are staying in a wonderful flat that has a great view of Indipendence Square. We walked down Andrews Desent which is where all the street venders are and we went into independence square and wandered around the underground mall. It was a lazy weekend with lots of bonding with Juliyana. She is a so funny. She loves the cell phone. Every time someone calls she wants to know if it is Papa or Grandpa and she must talk to them. She has no idea what she is saying but she does know how to say hello and bye bye. When she is not on the real phone she walks around with my book light pretending to be on the phone. If only I could understand Russian I'd know what she talks about. She goes through the scrapbook I made her every day. She knows who everyone is now but keeps confusing Sabaca (Dog) Diesel with some Uncle Diesel and Uncle Matt with PaPa. She loves going outside and is great about walking where ever we take her. She would rather not hold our hands but with all the traffic in Kiev that is a must.
We spoke with Anton and Konstantin and the passport is in Antons hands on a train back to Kiev. Tomorrow we begin the end of this rollercoaster ride and head out for her medical and then on to the American Consulate. I will feel so much better once I see her passport and have it in my hands.

Yeah!! Great news about the passport. It sounds like you're in the home stretch. My hope for you is that this whole experience is like 'regular child birth' where the memories of any difficulty tend to fade and it's all of the good times you'll remember.
It's great you've been able to do some sightseeing. Bringing home pictures to share??? My fingers, toes, ankles etc. are all crossed that things keep going smoothly.
Michael, I hope you're still hanging in there & the house is still standing! I can only imagine all of the sports that are being played, watched, and talked about while the girls are away!
You all must be so excited that your family will be together soon!
Stay well.
Warmly,
Christy
