Wednesday May 26th,

Only 1 day left to consider hosting a child for a summer holiday, if you are interested.

We didn't take the camera with us yesterday. Natasha & Andri cooked pancakes for breakfast.

We ice skated for an hour and a half. We plan to do this MWF. Andri has really improved and loves his hocky gear. He even ventures into the hockey rink with the big boys and loves it. And they love to help little guys. The girls will take ice skating classes (maybe Andri too), in June. They are progressing as well, and seem to love it. I love it because I can do it, and I ran into friends yesterday and shared our adoption message.


After skating, we headed home for a little of this and a little of that. Afterward we went to the Post Office to send a package to 3 of Natasha's friends in Ukraine. Then to the library to pick up some films, and drop some books off, then to get Daddy as we have had our big van getting the air fixed. It's fixed down and much better.

Then Katya and I went shopping for fitness clothes. Sophia had a hard time with that, why do we love Katya more, etc. But all is well after, and she knows it is her turn next. We need to go through her closet today with Natasha and see what's keep and what's not. We did that with Andri yesterday and put shorts in his drawer. Remember there was snow on the ground when we left for Ukraine, so I have a little Spring/Summer organization to do.

After supper we all went swimming again at the community center. That was really fun.

Boys went to bed after swimming and got up about 3 times before sleeping and went back and there were no problems. Natasha and I practiced her violin. Sophia & I did her piano. I mowed a little but have troubles with the current mower not working for me. So Chris mowed.

Sophia did my nails, Natasha did a little computer, Katya did computer and then it was lights out. Jaclyn snuggled with the girls after I tucked them in. Chris & I had a "date" doing mail from who know when.

Love Alesia & Chris
