New Information from Amy....

This is Jeff again (sorry to disappoint) Today Amy told me that she won't be coming home on Saturday the 16th as we planned, due to another holiday (the 3rd since she has been there) she will probably be coming home approx Wed May 20th, but that has yet to be determined. Needless to say she is very disappointed and is experiencing what Wendy experienced. Luckily she has two beautiful girls to keep her spirits up and my mom to keep it exciting. This week Amy was able to get some more paperwork out of the way (Birth Certificates for the girls, etc...) Now they are playing a waiting game.


Some pictures of Kiev


The large river that goes through the middle of Kiev. Some of the river boats in the picture have been converted into restaurants.

This is the escalator going down to the depths of the city to the subway, with Alex leading the way!

Wedding day for a bride and groom on Odessa.

More pictures of the Odessa trip

Some young boys begging for money.

This is the original gate to the City of Kiev, hundreds of years old. I took this picture the 2nd day after we arrived in Ukraine

  1. I like your posts, thanks for all the pictures. WE didn't get one of the subway and so I can now show my kids. You just keep going down and down and down... nothing like NYC or DC, we couldn't believe how deep the subways are there.

  2. Oh Amy (and Jeff) I as so sorry you're not coming home as planned. It's so frustrating to be waiting and waiting! I remember my despair & tears when I was told SIX more days! I don't wish I was there but I wish I could be with you like you were for me.
    I miss you terribly and I know it seems like an eternity and nothing I say will comfort you because I just know how it feels. So instead of comforting words I'll say what I know you are thinking!!
    What the heck? Why am I still here? I just want to go home. I'm sick of the food, I miss my bed, my food, my major appliances. I feel trapped here and like I'll be here forever. I just want to take my girls and go home! UGGHHH!!!
    Now, don't you feel better? Knowing that at least one soul knows exactly how you feel?
    Love you, miss you, Remember you're just in the "someday it will feel like a blink but right now it feels like a black eye!" part of this adventure!
