We have a date

We got our SDA date of Sept 12th today. We are excited and like before we'll leave just a bit earlier than we have to to allow us to adjust and deal with flight delays. Our oldest is coming with us and she is crazy giddy about it. I think her only disappointment is she has to go to 1.5 weeks of school before we leave.

Dennis is really happy to be going to spend time with grandma and grandpa. Sam is far more mellow but prays the girls will come home to us every time he gets the chance... He's also happy about the trip to CA because that is when his DSi restriction ends. He tries to convince me he gets sick to his stomach when he can't play electronic games :)

Melissa talked to the school principals today and I was happy they both seemed to be ok with the kids being out for what could be 4 weeks.

Melissa found a kennel that will take both dogs and they get to run in a fenced yard all day. They may not want to come home. It will still be one of the expensive aspects of the trip but she did give us a discount and she is one of those crazy dog people... So they will be well taken care of.

Now to go see what the weather is supposed to be like in sept and oct in Ukraine.

  1. I know it's a little later than you all had hoped, but I'm glad our trips-the NHFC interview trip- are still overlapping just a little! Maybe I will still be able to finally meet you!

  2. Possibly... Do you guys leave out of Kyiv on the 15th? We hope to be on a train the evening of the 13th to whichever school we are going to first. I'm guessing it'll be A.
