What do you do for little money, with a 13-year-old boy, in snowy cold Kyiv for the day to get out of a 2-room apartment? Please? Anybody?
Vadim had his very first visit from the tooth fairy. He lost a 12-year-old molar, and I talked him into putting it under his pillow, and lo and behold, he woke up with 8 grivna under there. That's only about a dollar. He thought it was hysterical.
Yesterday, he went ice skating and played in an arcade at the mall. We feasted on Beth's mac and cheese. V and Z ate 2 whole packs of freeze dried calamari that smelled disgusting, but they "ooohed" and "ahhhed" like it was the best thing they had ever had.
God willing, it's 44 hours until my plane leaves. Monday, I need some serious praying for paperwork magic.

We are all praying for a Christmas miracle -- that all will go smoothly and we get to see you and Vadim on the 23rd.
That's all I want for Christmas, really.
I wish I had ideas for you to do today.
Just hang in there. Know you are loved and missed.
