Monday, November 3, 2008. Praying you get the answers you need! We spent time with our son's preschool teacher and were shown his workbook, I even took pictures.it wasn't until he was in school at home that I realized that what I was shown wasn't my son's stuff after all, due to his CP there was no way he did what we were told was his.I hope your facilitator can explain the reasoning behind the letters in hopes you get true stories!

UKRAINIAN ROUTES: November 2008

http://ukraineroutes.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 28, 2008. GETTING TO KNOW OUR FAMILY. The boys with Dad. The boys are doing really well with transitioning to their life in California. We have been home less than 2 weeks and it seems to be feeling more like home for them everyday. The schedule is working and they are really good sleepers. We feel like all we do is eat, change diapers, and then put them to bed. Great Grandma with Sasha. Looking for the Cat outside. One of their new friends Louella at the beach park. We will keep you up ...

UKRAINIAN ROUTES: GETTING CLOSER ALL THE TIME

http://ukraineroutes.blogspot.com/2008/11/boys-are-doing-well-even-if-they-dont.html

Saturday, November 1, 2008. GETTING CLOSER ALL THE TIME. The boys are doing well even if they don't look happy in this photo, they are. The Italian family was taking our picture and the boys get very serious in the presence of strangers. But, as you can see below, she was a better photographer than we were. Thank you for hanging in there with us. The support and suggestions from home have made all the difference in this trip. I love the stick in the sand analogy! November 2, 2008 at 1:37 PM.

UKRAINIAN ROUTES: October 2008

http://ukraineroutes.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Friday, October 31, 2008. Mural outside Baby House. Outside the Veranda Playroom. Olga warned us that tourists, particularly "rich" Americans, can become targets for petty theft here. We take different routes to the baby house and try not to speak too much English. Some days we have Victor drive us, and maybe take us to the grocery store or downtown to do some shopping. Outside there are many playpen areas and Natasha is handing out leaves. We have seen many bouquets of leaves collected by children.

http://ukraineroutes.blogspot.com/2008/11/three-funny-stories.html

Wednesday, November 12, 2008. Now that the update is done to the funny stories! Yesterday we did another donation to the baby house as we withdrew the boy’s social money and took it to the accountant of the facility. We didn’t think much about it but Sasha said let’s take the car so we don’t have to walk with cash. We’ve been walking with cash for the last month! Many Paths Converging Into One Family. Colette and Family in Ventura. November 12, 2008 at 9:49 AM. So what was on your coat? Our great thanks ...
