Pizza and Ice Cream...

This is a picture of where we are currently staying in Zapporizhia...

There are several roaming cats and dogs around.  They like to sleep in the sandbox on the playground.  Makes me miss our Titus...  :)
















This morning our facilitator, Yana, took our kids to get some blood work done.  After they were finished we were able to treat them to pizza and ice cream.  Things are done a bit different here, to say the least (ha ha)... All six of us piled into the back seat of the taxi car!  Tony had Angela and Jana on his lap while I had Victoria on mine.  James sat in the middle of us all.  When we arrived at the "Pizza House" we ordered two large pizzas.  James and Angela ordered cokes.  James told Papa that he loved coke and had had it once before.  Victoria ordered apple juice and Jana ordered juice, as well as a hot chocolate.  They were in heaven...

After devouring our pizza and a run to the restroom, we enjoyed ice cream while Victoria had cake.  What a blast!  They were really well behaved and asked once again, "When do we get to go to Mississippi?"  Hopefully in two weeks!  

Please continue to pray for our paperwork processing...

Nothing like a little pizza and ice cream to smooth over bloodwork. Was it hard watching them get blood drawn? I hate when Aiden gets shots!

What a treat to be able to take your children for pizza and ice cream! I know you are counting down the days until you can take them home...but....enjoy your time with them in Ukraine too...you will miss it when you are back in MS.

Praying that your paperwork process is smooth, and that you are able to get your passports quickly.
