It's been a year since we left for Ukraine
Last Oct 5 we left for an incredible (and long) adventure. We have been going back through the archives reading our posts. If I had known that everything would turn out ok, I would have enjoyed more of our trip. We did sight see a lot, but I regret not seeing more of Matthew's hometown and relaxing more. We miss lots of things about Ukraine and would love to go back.

Matthew will turn three in less than 10 days. We are having a big party for him with an Elmo cake and lots of people. He really doesn't understand what b-days are but he loves to blow out the candles. We got him a Tonka scoop shovel truck to go with his dump truck. I am sure he will spend thousands of hours digging holes with the dog.
