WE'RE COMING HOME!!!!!!

We have just received an email from my (Shona's) parents confirming that our return flights have been booked and we are coming home! We will be leaving here on Saturday June 2nd, flying to Munich (for about 30 minutes), on to London then to St. John's Newfoundland for an overnight stay (at least we'll be on Canadian soil). Then we'll be flying to Toronto, Winnipeg and finally home to Saskatoon around 8:30 PM on Sunday June 3rd. YAY!!!!!! We are thrilled, relieved and counting down...(and yet still trying to live in the moment and enjoy our last 2 weeks in Kyiv!)

Wow, lots has happened while we were away...it took me so long to just catch up on all the drama! This is when I wished we had a lap top...it was like being away from your favorite TV drama series! Good thing for the blog or I'd feel so out of the loop right now. :-)

I thought of you lots and prayed lots. God is good, isn't he!

Glad the date is set! You're on the road home now...so enjoy the last few weeks there and know we're continuing to pray for all 3 of you. You guys look like a real family...all the smiles and laughter. It's great! I can't even describe how excited we are that you have a little family now...my heart is just overwhelmed with joy for you guys.

Have a great weekend...we're off camping to Kananaskis...wahoooo! We'll have to talk about camping next summer again at Cypress. Our summer is full(over flowing actually!)with holidays so we can't go this year but we talked the other night about going next summer with everyone again. It will be nice to have a girl amongst all the boys! :-)

...Carala(for my boys)

shout: "could someone translate "Slava Bogy!! Ya oche Rad shto Vi skora budete doma S Ivannei." from Ukrainian to English for me?

creamrivers shouts: "pray to God! I'm very glad you'll be at home soon with Ivan[na]".
creamrivers shouts: "it's russian by the way"

Babelfish, eat your heart out.

Looking forward to seeing you guys!

P.S. Jonathan ne tak umen, kak dumaet on sam.

Hooray! I am so glad for you that you finally have a specific day to count down towards and glad for us that we can do the same!! I can't wait to see you guys. Looks like June 3rd will be the day that the 3 of us will get to meet the 3 of you (unless this stubborn little one will move in the next week!)I'll send more details. Know that we continue to think of you daily and miss you tons. Still love seeing the daily pictures of all three of your happy faces.
