We are here!!! What a crazy place...it's sooo different from home. We arrived yesterday at 11 a.m. Going though customs we had a very nasty lady who yelled at me in Ukranian....Our facilitator Y took us to our flat, that has no washing machine so I washed socks and undies in the sink....aaahhhh! Y took us to get a phone card and some food. We walked back to our appartment and took a nap from 3:30 to 5:30 and then headed to O'Briens Irish Pub for supper with Bob & Susane, our friends from Birds Hill....I am not sure who was more excited to see friends...us or them. Well we have to take off now, so I will write more later...

HAPPY YOU MADE IT. HOPE THAT ALL ELSE IS WELL. IS BRAD BEHAVING HIMSELF. LENNY
I am go glad you arrived safe and sound and happy to hear that Chicago was a nice mini vacation. I keep on doing the time change thing in my head to figure out what you are doing over there and so be honest, its driving me a bit batty!! So hurry home with that new family so I can stop this insane calculating in my head : )
Take care and post again soon! Good luck tomorrow - I can't wait to hear all about it.
Valerie, Tony, Sydney & Matthew
Your washing machine woes have just prepared you for undies in the sink:):):) Can't wait to hear how your appointment goes!
Hey Kim and Brad - we are so very excited for the both of you, it's really happening!! We will be checking in daily for updates. You are in our thoughts and prayers and we so look forward to hearing about your new additions!
Shannon and Jason :)
told you Kim not to take to much underwear, you can just keep washing one pair all the time, Brad's does not need washing he is a man.
We miss you, but we are so excited and happy that missing you is fine.
don't forget to tell me about the food.
Love Pat & Ken
Hey guys!
Congrats!! We're very excited to hear you have arrived! Your discussions of your first flat remind me of my first flat in Vienna. It was 'unique'.
What are the toilets like? Are they bowls, or something with a little less practical/conventional design?
All the best, and we look forward to all of the updates!
Sincerely,
Lee, Treena, Kara and Nolan
We are glad to hear that you made it! We had a great time with you in Chicago. If you have time on your way back, we'd love to see you and your kids.
Love, Kristin and Lorne

Brad & Kim,
I finally figured out how to send this e-mail. I just wanted to say that I'm thinking alot about you guys, praying that God will give you strength for the task ahead and that you will all be able to come home together. Looking so forward to meeting those little ones (so is Emily).
Love Beryl, Wendall and Emily
Hi Kim!
Sounds like you are having a good time so far (except for grumpy ladies who work at the airport)....that's awesome!
I hope you are taking pictures!!
Also...Just thought I'd let you know that Treena (HR) at work had a baby boy on Oct 2/06 and named him Owen.
Take care!
Keri S.
