We have good news, we have our court date Tues at 12:30 and should be home a day earlier. We also finally have a battery for the camera so added a few new pictures to flickr.
Today was the first day it wasn’t raining so we were able to walk down to the beach and grab dinner. Everyone dresses up here all the time and we just brought shorts and t-shirts so the beach is the only place we don’t stand out.
Each day we are all getting more comfortable with each other. Now they are into listening to American music, its easier than talking English. They know the English version of most words but putting it into a sentence is difficult for them.
We met their school teacher and she showed us their school work. She is the one who teaches them English, but she can hardly speaks English, go figure.
Yesterday was bath day and clean clothes day. They were cute, they knew they were clean and felt proud. Olga had make-up on; from the pictures it appears Era is the orphanage make-up artist.
They had a lot of questions about school, they are nervous about the change and doing well in school. They wanted to know what time it starts- ends, they only go to school for a few hours in the morning so they aren’t use to a full day and they wanted to know if they will get lunch there.
They were told today that Stephen will pick them up them with their Aunt Cheryl and they were fine. The things we think will upset them so far hasn’t, we’ll see what happens when they get home.
We went through their food preferences today, it’s pretty much eggs, bread, butter, soup, ice cream and all junk food. They said they dont like chicken, meat and cheese, but they eat it here. I think they are pulling one on us so they can eat more junk food.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I'm so glad things are progressing so smoothly for you. Dan, Joyce, Joe and Wendy all left Denver on Thursday and should have arrived already in Kiev as I write this. It's so wonderful to know that these kids will have such wonderful families.
Take Care

I think I am going to take all of my makeup samples to Denver next month. The girls should have enough to last them a few years! Looks like you need a supply of ponytail rubberbands too.
I am going to love spoiling little girls...end then go home LOL!!!

The pictures were great - so happy you are able to capture all of these memories again! They look like they are happy and having a good time. It must be a huge relief to have their parents in process and to know that they are your girls!
Mari tried to tell us they ate ice cream for every meal - so enjoy the junk food stories! Sausages (that includes breakfast, hot dogs, and mild italian) are called kielbasa - try that on them! Koureetsa is chicken (may have mangled the spelling, but that is what it sounds like) and it seems to be familiar.
We are happy that you have your date! Twyla and John
