Remember - 'and this too shall pass'. Hope you don't go out at night by yourself. Looking forward to you all coming home.

Thank goodness I had Masha though. I don't know what I would have done without her! I'm loving your updates too, by the way. I think about you everyday and wonder what fun adventures you're having. :) Hang in there and good luck on your court!!!!

It takes a little time and I didn't have much tonight with the Pinewood Derby. Your boys made sure brother Richins knew that Dusty's birthday is tomorrow. All the boys had a good time. They had to take one of the 3 drill bits out of Dusty's car to keep it under weight. Matthew and Tyler tied for the win; talk about identical cars for twins. Emma said Dave really gets into it. I was just happy Zach's car won a few races. Dusty's was about the same. I had Addi take some pictures of Dusty so I will see if they looked good enough to send you.<br />Your older sons were there with friends cheering on all the cars. The Lloyd's made some really good cupcakes for all who came. It was about like normal so you didn't miss much except seeing the smiles and the excitement on the kids faces. They painted all the faces of the boys as if the boys were working on a motor and it blew up. It was really funny! The kids got time afterwards just to place their cars on the track and let them run and that is as much fun as anything we did all night. Most fathers would like to do it that way anyway. The cool prize was the free Purple Turtle shake coupon that all the boys got for participating. I'm going to ask Steve why the Dad's didn't get a coupon after all the work, for crying out loud! They also received a coupon for a free dozen donuts at Daylight donuts, even though that isn't as hot a commodity in some homes (if you are used to them).<br />Good luck on Thursday with the legal stuff. We are hoping and praying for you and that all will go well no matter what.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04522621909914697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2572094281037674932.post-21572044187535922682011-03-29T22:04:28.281-07:002011-03-29T22:04:28.281-07:00maybe they'd let you stay in the orphanage. b...maybe they'd let you stay in the orphanage. better yet, when it's time to go, stand on a toilet and hide until it's all dark and then come out and find an empty bed:) haha. you'll be just fine! really wish i was there!! i can't wait to see you!!!!!stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03016990350732715079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2572094281037674932.post-83978844203792002042011-03-29T19:33:41.985-07:002011-03-29T19:33:41.985-07:00Thanks for the update and the pictures.

If you get a chance, and want a good laugh while in Kiev, there is ONE Mexican restaurant there, and somehow we found it. It took forever to get served, and it was the sorriest excuse for a burrito I'd ever seen. :)<br /><br />Keep smiling and stay safe!

I was rejoiced in seeing the families arrive that came after me. It's like being in the trenches together, isn't it? No one really understands unless they've experienced it for themselves. <br />I was alone a bit and it is a little scary, just wear your head phones and pretend you can't HEAR anyone as opposed to UNDERSTAND anyone. Don't go out after dark, and blog lots! (Although it will feel like Ground Hog day, the same thing day after day!) You can do it! <br />Great pictures.<br />I've said this before, but I'll say it again. Someday this will all be a blink, right now it feels like a big black eye, but someday a blink! Hang in there!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121146906826833077noreply@blogger.com
