In the morning we got ready and went to bazar (book's market) on Petrovki. We bought a few Ukrainian books for kids to read at home. Our kids do read in Ukrainian, and to buy Ukrainian books in US is very expensive.
After bazar we were walking around Kiev, took some pictures, stopped at "Puzata Xata" for lunch and at 4:00pm went to SDA to pick up referral. It did start rain a little on our way back home, and we did stoppedAnd only around 6pm we got home. It was a long and very fun day. We love walking and just watching people, and life around in Kiev. We really enjoying every second of our time here. Also we are taking this opportunity to spend some time(me and Sergey) together, because when we go back home, Sergey will be working, and he will not take any vacation for some time.
During our first trip to Ukraine in 2009, we couldn't do much, and see many places do to winter and very cold weather. I was pregnant with our baby girl and we had our 2 year old with us. And all together we spend only 5 days in Kiev, because our son was from Donetsk region.
During our second trip January 2012, it was very cold also, and for two weeks we went out only few times. We had all our kids with us, and it was hard to go out with everyone in freezing cold.
Now we do enjoy Kiev, and weather and each other :)
I think I never mentioned that our kids are in Kievskij region and it's only 20-30 minutes from Kiev.
Tomorrow at 8am we have to be all the way across Kiev to meet our facilitator. And after we meet we will pick up one lady that has to be present during our first official visit with kids. Can't wait to see our kids :)

Glad you guys are getting to spend time together. Kiev is a beautiful city and so many sites to see. It is great that your children are so close to Kiev. I look forward to pictures.
