Beginning of Something Beautiful: Goodbye Ukraine!

Well we spent our last day in Ukraine just spending time together! We walked around and ate and shopped for presents for the girls back home. All the Ukrainian women wear gorgeous boots around here so when we thought of things to buy for our girls we of course thought we had to buy them some boots! Our attorney and her husband took us around to many places trying to find gifts for our family at home and we all had such a good time! Yana is so cute she just loves my 3 year old daughter Samantha. Bryan and I bought my other daughters presents and hadn't bought Sam anything yet. Yana kept asking, "What about Samantha?" Yana is such a sweet and giving little girl. We are so blessed to have her as our daughter! We kept asking her ,"Do you want some boots from Ukraine?" and she quickly replied "America!" Today we saw a little shift with Yana from sad goodbyes to anticipation and excitement to leave for America tomorrow. Thank you God for giving her a peace that can only be from You. Thank you God for giving her a heart to be able to look forward when she could so easily still be looking back! Thank you God and we give You all of the Glory! Here a few pictures of our last days in Kiev with Yana!
