Thanks for all of the prayers!!
We arrived without incident (more or less) yesterday. So far the "only carryon luggage" has been a great thing. We had our appointment this morning and will pick up our referral for the girls this evening, then drive to their region tomorrow morning (very early!!). If everything goes as planned we will get all of our initial paperwork done tomorrow and will be staying in their region over the weekend.
Our luggage
The boys are doing fantastic and are loving being in Ukraine! Their favorite part is the playgrounds that are everywhere in Kyiv. Tami, yesterday we walked to O'Panas and the boys played at the huge playground there. :)
The playground outside our apartment
Having my mom here has been great. She was able to stay with the boys this morning while we went to our appointment so they got to sleep in. We're all pretty sleep deprived after the craziness of the past few days, so the extra sleep for them was wonderful. We are headed to their favorite playground (at O'Panas) next so they'll sleep well again tonight.
Before our SDA appointment
Sorry if this is a little disconnected. I'm typing fast and trying to use as little time as possible. We don't have internet here in Kyiv so I'm using an internet cafe. We should have internet in-region and I'll do my best to catch you all up on the past few days.
We're really excited to meet the girls!! :) :)

I have been wondering how you are doing. I am so glad to hear you are there safe and sound. And I'm glad to hear about the playgrounds, too. We have always been there when the ground was covered in snow.
