Wednesday Post
All,
We had our morning visit today. We found a new weapon in keeping control of them...FOOD! I thought I could eat, but after seeing the little one scarf down a banana and a half, there may be a new eating champ in the family!
Both are getting more comfortable with us, and are starting to explore and find where their limits are. Today the older one kept finding interesting objects and running out into the hallway (where he's not supposed to be) to show his friends. I would call after him, to no avail, when one of his caregivers tracked him down and laid down the law, which straightened him up. I can't be too hard on myself, though, it's only my second day on the job!
Our translator has been working very hard for us, and is keeping the whole process on schedule. As it has gone with other couples' adoptions, there are numerous quirky problems that crop up with the paperwork, but our translator has been driving our case through the bureaucracy. She'll be leaving us tonight to go back to Kiev, so it's Kelly and I on our own! However, our new driver here is pretty good, and is willing to walk with us to stores and help us out. He helped us find ga-ROO-shkees (toys) this afternoon. Donetsk is a big city, so we shouldn't be bored for a while as we spend our afternoons between visits exploring.
We miss everyone very much, and were overwhelmed by the number of emails we received since yesterday (84). Keep 'em coming!
Peace and Love,
Bill & Kelly
PS: Mom (Sue) we received your email about your work email address, but have been receiving an error message when we've tried to use it.

The orange room is sooo excited for all of you. The kids are asking for pictures, hint, hint! Each day we check for new updates and stop whatever we are doing just to read out loud. At times it becomes quite emotional in the room. Your joy and happiness is extremely contagious.
Keep us posted
