We are still waiting, and should know our travel/appointment date any time now. I really hoping that everything will go smooth and we hear something from our facilitator tomorrow. I am already starting to pack and get ready for our travel. This time we will take only ElliAna with us, and we also have to make plans and arrangements for our boys.
We are ready and happy to be traveling soon. We were waiting for this day for sooo long. I can't wait to hug, and kiss, and hold my children in Ukraine. I will miss our boys home, but my mom will stay with them, and I know she will take good care of them.
Please pray for our family, for Gods perfect timing.
Blessings

Adoption Update
It's been long time since my last update. We been busy, and I really didn't feel like blogging. Way to much stuff was going on in our "personal/private" life. Nothing bad, and we are doing great, just don't feel comfortable to share everything.
Two weeks ago we send our two documents( knowing child letter, and petition for an appointment) to Ukraine. Yesterday we found out that our children finally available for adoption, and in our original request we did asked to have a travel date somewhere between June 15 and June 30st. Now we are trying to change our request and get our travel date one month earlier, somewhere in late May. Kids are available for international adoption, and we don't want them to wait any longer, also I know that SDA will try to send families to adopt our kids, so we do worry a little about that :)
Please pray about our process, and that we will get travel date in May. Also we will leave our boys home, and we are praying that everything will work out with our babysitters.

Happy late B-Day our baby girl!
ElliAna turned 2 years old on April 6. We have to learn to have a holiday, Easter and a birthday almost at the same time. Because this year ElliAnas Birthday just blended in with a holiday.
Time sure flies, and I can't believe it's been 2 years since we have met our daughter. She is so different from our boys, and real small lady :) A month before her birthday, our girl decided that she is ready to go to school, and stopped nursing, she still has a cup of milk before bedtime but no more nursing. I kind of miss those times, but do enjoy my freedom :)
We introduce a potty chair to her somewhere in December/January, and she did good for few days back then. Then we went to Ukraine, and we didn't want to do the whole training during our trip, it was enough stressful for everyone. After we came back to Ukraine, I just decided to wait till summer time to train her.
But ElliAna decided that she is ready and same time when she stopped nursing, she potty trained herself. :) One day she woke up, and said no more diaper, she had her undies on for whole day, with no accidents. And since that time, she never had her diaper on during a day. We did have few accidents with her , but only first 2 weeks, and now, she fully potty trained. We do keep her in diaper during night time, but for last week her diaper is dry, and sometimes she asks to go to the bathroom during night time. She is so smart, and we are so proud of her. Now, she is saying that she is a big girl and ready to go to school.
This little girl does learn almost everything on her own. She learned how to walk on her own at 9 month, and talk, and many little things. She is our little angel, brothers love her, and she is a joy to have around.
She talks better than our 4 year old Denny
She loves Dora and Diego
She loves books
She can change her clothes many many times a day and like to do it
She is very funny
Loving and smart
Just pure joy :) (We do have our little tantrums, "terrible twos", but it's nothink compare what we had with Denny)
God Bless you! Your family loves you baby girl :)
