January 17: We woke up in the middle of the night thinking that it was really 5:30 am when it was 2:30 am instead and when we finally went back to sleep, we didn’t wake up until 9:00 am. After talking to Valery about today’s schedule, I got ready and went downstairs for breakfast. Since Tamara was still resting, I had them bring her breakfast to the room. We then wrote some blogs and emails on my laptop before getting ready to go eat lunch with Valery. After lunch, we bought a few snacks and went back to the hotel. At 3:00 we walked to the passport office with Valery where we met Viktor, Sasha and the school lawyer. It only took about 15 minutes for the final paperwork to be submitted. We were told that they would be ready at 10:00 am on Saturday morning. Valery left for Takmak to do the same process for Zhenya (hopefully his passport will be ready on Saturday morning as well). We walked to the corner with the boys and after Viktor told his Momma that she needed to go buy a warm coat, they went to catch a bus and we returned to the hotel.
After a nap, we went down to eat dinner and spent quite a while at the internet cafe updating blogs. Valery called us to tell us that everything went well in Takmak and that Zhenya’s passport would also be ready on Saturday morning so that all three boys could go to Zaporozhe to apply for their new international passports and get police clearances. Karen Springs also called us from Kiev and we updated her on the latest news about our progress.
