I just found these on my iphone, a little blurry, but cute. I think Anastasia took these : )
Today was the big day. Our 10 day wait is over and Troy got on a plane this morning to go pick up Tatiana, Victor and Anastasia. We are hoping they will return Saturday, April 25. We'll see.

So our cute pen pal friend Anya sent these pictures of the kids this week. I still just love and adore these children. Troy and I both have felt at different times that they will be ok and Marina is such a great mother to them and will hopefully be able to keep them together as a little family. It's amazing how attached we got in such a short time to these sweet kids. But that does make us excited to bring home Tatiana, Victor and Anastasia and be able to share our love with them too.
Marina, Ivan and Anya when they got our package of English notebooks and stuff to help with their tutoring.
These were pictures she had of the kids from last year. A very similar to the picture of Ivan with his arm around Anya is what made us pick them out to host them last October. And that is what we ended up loving about the two of them was their smiles and hugs. Marina is very loving too, but always watching and worrying. She has definitely been their mother for the last 7 years.Hopefully we'll be able to write to them again after things have calmed down. I hope one day they will know that we really loved them and would never have hurt them or their grandmother.

Good luck to Troy! Hope this is a much smoother trip!
Yay! I can't wait till you have your new little family members home! I hope that Troy's trip goes better than your last!
I hope to be-if not on the same flight as Troy-home! This passport thing is no easy task, so far it's required 5 visits to and back to various agencys and we haven't even officially applied yet. Apparently the "social card" or id card has to be in the system for 24 hours before we can apply for his passport?
I hope it goes smooth for Troy. I think I still have his number I'll try him when I get in Kiev, I'm hoping to leave for Kiev Tuesday night the 21st. But that all depends on this passport thing...Grr...
Sounds like we'll be passing each other in the air if all goes well.
So excited for you! Can't wait to meet the kids.
Your three new kids look darling. Can't wait to mee them.
