DIZZY,MY HEAD IS SPINNING!!!

Hey everyone, just a quick update. Some of the kids were asking what was left for us to do. Well, this morning, we went to the third and final passport office. All the information from the other two comes here. Today I signed their passports, and the girls had their pictures taken. Then they put everything together virtually on the computer, and send it to Kiev. Someone there looks at it, stamps it and sends it back to Poltava via armored security truck so they can put their stamp on it here in Poltava. Once we have that, we are ready to go to the Embassy in Kiev. The passport thing is suppose to take ten days, but not to worry. Sometimes they can do things faster. Once in Kiev, the Embassy process is usually two days. The first day you go and fill out all the documents. They send the information to the U.S.. Because of the time difference, you get to come back the next day to the Embassy in the afternoon and pick up all the visas etc. that you need to come home. So, long story - short, it won't be long now. We are hoping to travel to Sumy on Friday or Saturday. That should be a nice diversion.
