We are in Kiev!!!

Sitting around at the bank to transfer the childrens funds to the orphanage. The bank teller was not happy to have 4 families to do!

We were there for almost 2 hours!!

One last look at Sveta's world: the 2 on the left of the corner and the 2 to the right upstairs

The happy families wall

The other happy families wall

We dropped off the champagne and chocolate to the Director and staff.

Gerri Sveta's get out of jail free card!!!!!

When I got upstairs they were ready! Everyone was there. She was quickly whisked into the bedroom and they started stripping her. I had to dump my bag of clothes to get to her undies and tights!! She LOVED her pink clothes!

Several workers gave hugs and loving

Gerri Sveta's best friend :)

One last hug from her favorite worker and her daughter! They gave her a pretty doll!

Giving her Marina a hug :)

She told Marina that once she found homes for all the boys and girls could she please come live with us in America!!! How sweet is that! She totally gets it!

Chillin out in the hotel - a little stunned

At our favorite buffet place, she ate borscht and drank juice

The Webb family photo!!

Gerri Sveta liked my coke light

Waiting for the train

Our train to Kiev

She loved playing with the suitcase :)

The Tinkerbell pj's were a big hit!

We visited with the Webbs for a bit

First look at an ipod touch!!

Listening to music!

Mama was happy :) :)

Night sweet princess!!!

She woke up once at 11:30 and whispered she had to pee, then thought it was time to get up. She talked to herself for about 3 minutes and that was it till I woke her up at 6:00!

Sergey picked us up at the train station at 6:15 and we ran through the train station to our van and onto our apartments. We are all spread out over Kiev. I am lucky that I have the same apartment since I needed the elevator for Sveta's stroller. I will say how very happy I am I bought the stroller!! It was a life saver yesterday and today. We had granola bars, yoghurt and an orange for breakfast. I took a quick shower since I only had a couple of hours sleep again. (Gerri Sveta snores)

We are getting ready to head out to get the van to take us to the medical clinic and then onto the Embassy!!!
It is so surreal to have her with me :)
