Their Day!

Our boys were baptized on Saturday the 15th of November.  It has taken me this long to get my act together and put the pictures on the blog.  It was amazing that they wanted to be baptized so fast.  We had an excellent translator that just hit it off with the boys on the first discussion. The boy's had a lot of questions, but after a couple of weeks, they really wanted to be baptized, and were excited about it.  It was a great evening.  We had a lot of people show up, and the boys thought that was really cool.  Thanks again to all that came.  It really meant a lot to us.

Catching up, or trying to!

Here are some pictures taken through the time I last blogged.

I was successful in putting the Hosting Video on YouTube.  You can find it by putting the words "Hosting Save a Child" in the search area.

Save A Child Foundation

For the last couple of weeks, the Save a Child Foundation, (with which we found our boys through)had their hosting program.  They brought over about 5o kids from Ukraine this year.  At the end of the program, they had a benefit concert.  Sasha took part in the singing and playing the flute, and I was in charge of a video, made up of families experiences with the hosting program.  I will try and put it on YouTube.  The file was too big for this blog site.  The concert featured America's Jr. Miss Lindsay Britton.  And the Osmonds 2nd Generation.  It was a great show.

Halloween starts early on our street.  The YM/YW had a fashion show night.  The boys drew girls names and dressed each other up.  They has a great time.

This is what Artem likes for breakfast.  Honeycomb cereal, blueberries with chocolate syrup! Yummy!  Actually it doesn't look that bad.

One Month! So Far. So Good

Just catching up!  It has been a month since we arrived home from Ukraine.  We have had a pretty busy month, and it was hard to find time to up date the blog.  Sorry to keep you from our very exciting lives for a whole month, but I see that everyone has survived through it well enough.  We are happy to report that the boys are doing really well.   They only miss Ukraine "a little bit," so I guess we are on the right track.  They seem to like school, and already have good friends there.  Catherine being one of them.  I already feel out number some times when Lauren is working and Cat is at cheer.  Kent has been out numbered since he was born.  I don't know how he is still sane.  Thanks for hanging in there Kent. 

Here are some pictures taken this past month.  They will catch you up on what has been happening here. 

             Maddie had her "Golden" Birthday this month.  She turned 19 on the 19th

Here is what you do when you adopt kids from another country.  You put them to work, and help them learn english.  I took them to the doctor, and the first thing they had to do was to pee in a cup.  WELCOME TO AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
