Sunday PM

It is Mike and I sitting in the McDonald's looking on the internet, having to boot and reboot the computer to get things to finally work. The girls have gone back to the apartment with the Heltons. It is freezing rain outside so the slick areas are even more slick and everything is slushy. I like hard frozen better.

We were able to see both boys today. The older one knew about what time we would be getting there so he appeared soon after we got there. Jess and Becca worked with him to draw up a calendar of the next six months. We added birthdays, school, soccer, vacation, camp....anything we could think of to give him an idea of what is ahead. Since we don't have any confirmation on dates, we just gave a rough timeline. He studied the plans and seemed to enjoy knowing what is out there. We played UNO and laughed...he is competitive and pays close attention to how others are playing.
The little guy was just a bunch of energy today. Both of us are thinking..how can we channel all that energy??!

It is Sunday and although there are Eastern Orthodox churches around, we haven't seen
anything that resembles another denomination. Our faith lesson continues in real life. I have to remind myself to keep our eyes on the end result.

Last night our eating excursion took us to a place that makes varenyky. These were much doughier than the pasta ones we had in Kiev. They were alot of bread with not much flavor. Jessica liked hers but she had strawberry as the filling. We will not return to that eating establishment although the decor was very Ukraine.
