Privyet!! (Hi!)

We made it! About 2:00am CST we landed in Kiev. It is cold here, about 27 degrees and snow on the ground. The kids are absolutely thrilled, since they have maybe seen snow once in their recollection.

We got through New York fine. When we got to the airport, we unloaded 9 checked bags. At the ticket counter, the agent only counted 8. We had no idea where the other one was, what was in it, or where it could have gone in 100 yards from the street to the inside. We did know that we had all of OUR clothes. What we were not sure about was if the missing bag had Andrey's clothes we bought him or all the gifts for everyone in the entire country of Ukraine. (Can I get an ugh! from all the ones who have adopted?)

When we got to Kiev, 9 bags appeared. We were so grateful that our prayers were answered in this way. We are hunkering down in a flat next door to TGI Fridays. I will have a cell phone number in the next day or 2.

Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. Story developing...........
