Hosting for Winter

Hello All, We had a wonderful 3 week visit with Anastasiya. We spent a very nice Christmas at home. The weather was warm enough for her to ride her new bike. We went to a couple of family parties and she just blends right in like she is part of the family. We had friends come over on New Years Eve, the kids had a lot of fun. We spent 3 days at the Great Wolf Lodge. She loves swimming and the water slides. The departure at the airport was very rough to say the least. We already miss her so much. We just got word today that they all made it back to the orphanages safe and sound. We have completely redone our dossier. It should be in the Ukraine within the next couple of weeks. We are hoping that the SDA will take more than 2 dossiers, per month, per facilitator. The Director of the SDA has resigned, so things at the SDA are uncertain. We can only try to stay positive. Thanks for following our journey.
