8 more days left!

Hello everyone!
Thankyou for all your comments. Today we are having a great day. We even did alittle shopping. I was dying to buy at least one pair of funky shoes! You should see the footwear and clothes the ladies wear over hear! Everyone wears 3 or 4 inch boots with pointy toe in all colours of the rainbow. The clothes the women wear are not all in black. They are all very fashionable. They look like they take pride in what they wear. The men wear all black or dark grey. Speaking of colour.........I never seen so many bright colours of hair on women in my life!! They are certainly the "ornaments" of Lugansk! The weather today is just wonderful. It is +20 today. It is too hot for a jacket. Everyone is cleaning up there yards and the grass has come up. All the trees and bushes have budded. I am waiting for more greenery and colour from flowers to appear before I take pictures around the city. I will certainly have to take pictures of the roads! They are horrible!! There is barely any roads without huge pot-holes covering them. Our roads at home are heaven! Our driver Leo drives slowly and all over the roads from left to right trying to miss as many as the pot-holes as possible. There are also tons of stray dogs here! In all sizes. You can often hear them in the distance barking loudly while basically attacking each other. Thank God they keep there distance. We feel very safe here because we have Alex(facilitator) with us all the time.
We will shortly be leaving for our afternoon visit with Nastya-Sara for a couple of hours. It is almost 4 pm. Today we have 8 days left to wait from the "10 day wait" that began the day after court. After this we can finish up her paper-work. We have booked a flight on a plane to Kiev on a Sunday. I will definitely not take a car ride again from Lugansk to Kiev!! I'm surprised my back is still intact! We couldn't put Nastya-Sara through that. I suppose later in the week we will be able to guess more or less when we will be leaving for Canada. I can't wait!! Although I will miss Ukraine. We have met alot of wonderful people that have made our journey fantastic. Well I guess I'm off to see our daughter..........Oh! That sounds great to say!!! I have butterflies in my stomach!

Hi kids!
We love you so much! Right now I'm imagining giving you all big bear hugs. I miss terribly cuddling with you's at bed time. We are ALWAYS thinking about you all. We miss you lots!!
