Spelling change of name and coming home

Ok, just a quick note this morning. We are off to a parade in downtown Kiev. This next week they are celebrating their Independence and they are doing it with quite a bang!

We will for sure be arriving into Lewiston from Seattle on Wednesday the 24th at 6:30 PM. We look forward to being home again and starting life as a family. Anyone who would like to come and say hi to us and kids - we'd love to see you!

Also, just a note on Olesya's name. We originally spelled it, and that is how it is on all the previous posts as Oleysa. When we went to go get her passport, they explained to us that a more conventional spelling of her name is Olesya. That spelling actually better reflects the pronunciation, and so we decided to go with it. Sorry for the confusion - it can be challenging sometimes to translate the Cyrillic letters into English appropriately, especially with vowel sounds. So - her name should be spelled - OLESYA.

That's it for now! Bye - off to make breakfast for our hungry charges!
