Prolexis Make Enhancement

A toast to ALL single parents!

I know, I know, I have not done my blog for so long but you will understand that with 2 young children who come out of the ordinary World is something! Never I would have thought! I tell you some stuff ...

First Day of departure of the children at the orphanage went very well. Andrei was so proud that his mother had arranged it all. She had even bought a big present for each class two groups of children. Then I brought all that was needed for get the kids ... underwear, socks, shoes, tights, camisoles, sweaters, coats, hats, mittens, etc.. They were very proud of their new clothes. Then we went to order a pizza that we ate with Natalia to the Lugansk apartment. As in ordinary life, we even had a visit from Ludovic and Chantal. The kids were excited ... which would not be living in all these emotions.

I will continue in point form because I have very little time before the kids wake up.

• Surveys at 4:30 to leave at 5:30 to catch our 7:00 flight. Tough but children have done very well this.
• arrived in Lugansk, the Viktormobile waiting for us and led us to the grocery store.
• Then we were at the apartment we booked was apparently only available for a mother and her two children along as a boat (can not supervise children in the lounge when I make the dinners) and Above all, it's freezing (heating in Ukraine is still sometimes centralized and controlled by the state that had not yet "alum" it was 7 degrees Celsius!) And the cherry on the Sunday, no washing machine! With two children??
• We ended up spending three days to be told they were looking for another apartment for us and we've moved Sunday lunch ... Kseniya and Natalia came and two other couples of adoptive parents (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU) came to help.
• children are extraordinary. ... So intelligent they are sponges. They learn at the speed of V. But these are children and child who says, "said childish! Especially since they have just emerged from a highly regulated structured and where life is all organized. Since I took them to the orphanage, and the new:
• 3 apartments in 5 days, restaurants, a large bath with foam, a mother always always there for them and who does not speak their language (which she says exactly)?? A large bed where the mother slept with children, etc..
• is very exciting for them and I spend most difficult time. I'm disappointed that no one informed me that it would be so hard being alone with two adopted children. Had I known, I called my mother or my sister Anne to me has offered several times!
• Still, the joy of being with my kids always fills me with happiness. They are really mine (and of course Thomas) ... soon we will feel that they have always lived together!
• Andrei loves talking with Babushka Vera. He tells her all sorts of wild stories. Tonight for example, he said he had 13 years! Anything. But Andrei is pretty special. He did not seem to be 7 years. Physically yes, absolutely. But mentally, it seems much more mature than his age. It has a great sense of humor and always telling tall tales but seriously, I will not say! Lisa
• music in the blood. She sings and dances all day. She is always cheerful and crisettes are becoming less frequent. She understands better and better what he arrives and she is ecstatic. She keeps telling me she loves me: Ya te lou blou Bec ... Mom to Mom ... etc.. It is very endearing. It will certainly further to the other women here and there but understands that I am his mom and it's me who cares for her and fills her needs.
• Tomorrow I have to go to the Embassy for visas children. Children have Ukrainian passports and we need to get visas for them to come to Canada with me. Dodos IN 2!
• Well I'm lying, it's already 12:42 ET I have to get up early to go to the embassy.

PS. More photos ... I lost my camera on the plane between Lugansk and Kiev and I was not able to go buy me another one - a single mother can not!

PS2. Sorry for this blog short, probably full of errors and with very little content but I run, I run, I run.

you soon! xxx
