Kola
Linda,
Kola is short for Nicholai. His given name is Nicholai (something) ChinChin. Everyone calls him Kola for short. They have asked us at the orphanage not to call him Chris yet, that it will be easier to transition the name once we are in America. From time to time we call him Chris Kola, just so he gets used to hearing the name. We asked him if he wants his American name or Ukrainian and he says he wants the American name, but it can be stressful sometimes. He has had some crying spells when we leave and when he doesn't get his way!!!
Julie,
Thanks for your good dreams ...tell Jacob that today was my first day all by myself, it is 2 oclock and I have eaten 3 M and M's and walked about 5 miles. Yes, this is the diet that I have heard about. Yesterday, I had one coke, 3 m and m's and a piece of bread and 4 cups of coffee and you know that is not my favorite drink, but it fills you up when the options are slim!!

Maybe when you get back you can write a how to book on the "Ukrainian Diet". I'm sure it will be the new rage. I hate that you are alone now, but as busy as you are I am sure the time will be gone before you know it. It is Christmas Eve's Eve and my family just left. I have been sick and compplaining about how hard things have been. I take it all back. What you are going through puts things in perspective. I think we take it for granted how easy it all is. Hurry home with your new child (I think he should keep Kola as a nick name its nice). My Christmas wish is for you!
Julie
