Morning of

I know you are wondering why I am up posting to our blog at 6:30 in the morning before we leave today....well, I am too! We have been so crazy this past week, there has been no time to post, but I wanted to catch up before we head out.

In the last week, everything has been up in the air! We didn't get our immigration papers until Thursday, (long story)that put us into a panic. My shots were given properly and I had to go back and get another. From what I understand, many things like this happen in Ukraine and if this was a test in preparation...I didn't pass. :)

Friday night my dad and step-mom came up to watch Matthew's indoor soccer game. This was also their time to say good bye. Saturday we had to pull a float in the Christmas parade, take the animals to the kennel, go have birthday lunch with my aunt, and take Matthew to a birthday party. Whew! but done by 3:30. Last night was Matthew's night. We told him we would do anything that he wanted before we head out. He picked bowling. We haven't done that in ?????????? It was fun and good to just be with him before we leave. Matthew will be staying with my mom and step-dad while we are gone. Boy, you know their world will be turned upside down...a 10 year old kid in the house for a month after YEARS of it just being the two of them.

Well, off to pack the last couple of items!
