Rounding the Final Turn Down the Backstretch!






This morning we went to pick up the girls passports. The last thing we needed before we head to Kiev. We will leave in the morning and should be able to do the necessary paperwork at the Embassy on Monday and Tuesday. That means we can fly home on WEDNESDAY!!! Haven't gotten the final word as to what our flights will be, but it will be the same as some of the other families I think. We should arrive around 6:35p.m. We fly Kiev-Frankfurt-Denver-Salt Lake. I will let you know for sure. This afternoon we spent packing up and tonight had fun with some of the hats that Ray couldn't resist at the market. The girls had fun on the computer with Jesse and Claire and Elle. Thanks for the video guys! Natasha says we will have a couple of very busy days. We are so close now. Can't wait. Hopefully we will have internet in Kiev. It is going to take a while adjusting to life without Jeff and Ann. They have been terrific. It is a little bittersweet leaving them behind. We hope they won't be too far behind.

Taryn and Polly have done a fantastic job getting the girls' rooms ready. You will be impressed. They have handled themselves really well. I am proud of them. too bad you missed Black Friday. It was crazy. Mervyn's has some good sales going.
Love ya.

We will miss you guys! It will be quiet around here. What will Ruslan do to entertain himself without the girls? We will also miss seeing Ray come home from the market with his deal of the day. We are happy that you are on your way home though. Such lucky ducks. See you in Utah. Jeff, Ann and Ruslan
