Hello Everyone:
It's hard to believe we left one week ago today. Last week Saturday I was working hard to complete office paperwork before we left for the Ukraine and today I am working on office paperwork I brought with me. It is interesting how paperwork travels around the world with me. We do miss our office, our staff and patients. Today has been a lazy day. We stayed up late last night playing comuter games with Sergey, albeit, the new ones did not load due to space issues on the laptop, and not enough RAM to really power them. Rex spent four hours yesterday afternoon with the hotel staff trying to get them loaded and only one loaded partially so Sergey was happy when we got back and played it for two hours. This is a note to future families adopting from the Ukraine, have enough memory and RAM for your laptop, especially if you are fortunate enough to have your child (children) stay with you, although I think this is a very special, extenuating circumstance that we have guardianship now, prior to the court hearing. Another note to future travelling families, I have found that you should pack several ziplock bags. They have come in handy for so many things - food, money, etc.
Today we also ventured around the square. Yesterday Sergey left his cap at the Georgian restaurant. We walked to the restaurant - an easy walk - but when you are language impaired - it was quite a venture. The cap was there and Sergey was happy. So were we. The staff were all very helpful and understood why we came.
Otherwise, Sergey has been announcing to everyone he talks to that we are his mom and dad. He talks in Russian alot and we just hope he is being polite because we have no way of knowing what he is saying.
Thanks to everyone who is following our blog. Unfortuantely there will be no pictures until we return home.
Disadanya (Formal goodbye in Russian - English transliteration)
Rex, Liz and Sergey

Can't wait to see you all! We are all praying that you will all be home together on Labor Day weekend! Love, Mary Ann
David and I are glad things are going well, and we include all three of you in prayer. Sergey Samuel, I hope that your new mother and father will bring you to visit us soon in Marcus, Iowa. We have a nice little dog named Gilda, who loves to play with children. God bless you three. Thanks for the blog. It inspires and interests us very much. Love, Kelly and Dave Wurth
How wonderful that you have been able to have Sergey with you! Sounds likes he is thrilled to be with you, as I'm sure you are equally as excited! I hope things move along quickly for you. You've been in my thoughts every day! God bless and thank you for keeping us up-to-date!

We are glad to hear that your trip is going well. We look forward to seeing you all back in the States. We miss hanging out at the lake. The Shoot Out was today and Mark said you would have loved it. Steve & Heidi and Scott Farley were there. I stayed home with Logan because today is his birthday. You all are in our prayers daily. The Stuckeys
