Yesterday during our walk to the orphanage we noticed snow on the mountains tops. Today Lisa and I woke to dark clouds. Just as we arrived at the orphanage, the flurries started and it snowed all day. We enclosed a couple of pictures.
Today during our afternoon visit, Halina took her own first steps. She was with one of the caregivers, and decided to let go of her and walk about 4 feet into Lisa’s arms. We were all shocked. So we tried it again and again. By the time I figured out to go and grad the camera, Halina decided she would rather sit down and play with some cubes. Things seem to be getting better by the day, we are definitely starting to feel Halina is missing us. She gets so excited when we arrive and when we start to leave she reaches for us and starts to cry. We just can’t wait to bring her home.
We spoke to Victor and he will be arriving in Svaliava Friday mourning at 4:45 am. This is actually our choice because flying him in is just too expensive.

Only a couple of days to go!! Very excited! Don't worry about the snow we have you covered here. way too much of the white stuff on the ground- and everyone has driving amnesia!!! Idiots!
Anyways, can't wait for you guys to show some real pictures of my niece- enough already. Good luck on Friday can't wait to read the blog when I wake up. Make sure to write your details for coming home! Miss you xox
Congratulations! Just came across your blog. You must be thrilled to call Halina your own. This past July we adopted two children from Mariupol, our son is & and his sister is 2. I love your pics of Kyiv. They bring back so many fond memories of that city---although the traffic and parking on the sidewalks was a different story. We really liked the verenyky at "Pyzata Xata", just at the bottom of the hill from Andrisky Uzviz. A great place for a meal!. We are also from Canada. Love to stay in touch so email us at murraydonna2008@yahoo.ca and we'll send you our blog.
