More News!!

Hello from Katelyn, yet again.
My parents tried updating the blog on their own, but said that the directions to get in were all in Ukrainian, and they couldn't understand how to do it.
They have been meeting with Sasha and Tania everyday. Oleg, Helen (Helen is their translator), and the school director have all been talking to Sasha to convince him that he should be adopted. He still is not sure he wants to be adopted.
Their new translator Marina, says they do not look American, they look Ukrainian, so they are happy their attempts to camouflage have worked. :)
They also wanted to pass on the fact that they have met with Lena and Pasha, and were able to give them the gifts, and they loved the pictures received. My parents will send pictures when they figure out what they are doing.
They were also able to give letters to Maria, who was excited to get them. She wanted to know how the boys were doing, and my parents were absolutely thrilled to meet her.
They showed pictures from the concert to the director of the school, and he got a little choked up. They think he misses the kids. They have given Tania pictures to show her teachers, so they can all see how the kids are doing.
Pictures mean everything to these kids, and they were all so excited to see the pictures of their friends. My mom said "I think they are more important then gifts to them". I really liked that :)
Hopefully we will continue to hear more good news :)
