They're Here!

Kellers waiting at the airport for the Ukraine children to arrive in Salt Lake City, Utah.  We look a little sleepy because it was 11 pm Saturday night.  Ethan did sleep in the car on the way over.
Welcome sign in Russian.
Kellers with the Shafaliuk children from the Ukraine.  These are the three children we are hosting for the next 16 days.  We are a pretty excited bunch, you just can't tell from the picture. 

The kids just walked off of a plane after 20 hours in airports and on planes to a strange family who doesn't speak their language.  Brave, brave children.  Behind Ethan is Ivan, In the middle is Anya and next to her is her older sister Marina.  Super cute, sweet children. 
This is us with Daniel who helped us interpret and talk the the children at the airport.  It was extremely helpful!  We really appreciated it.  Troy had him ask the children what they wanted to see while they were here and Marina told us she had heard they could see dinosaurs.  Something to add to our list.

Were heading home.  We got home and they had something to drink and then we took them on the tour of the house and showed them their rooms.  Then on the computer we asked them if they wanted to play or if they were tired.  Of course they wanted to play, it may have been 12:30 am Sunday morning here, but it's 9:30 am in the Ukraine.  Our kids always need an hour to play when ever we go somewhere new, no matter how late it is.  So we sent all the kids down to play.  Ivan loved the remote control cars and Anya played with Percy.  She would pretend that she was going to throw his toy and then she would hide it in her shirt and laugh and laugh while he look around bewildered.  It's now time to put everyone to bed.
