Well, it is now two months and counting since we left Louisville, Ky to come to the Ukraine for our child. Dave left last Tuesday(Sept 2) to go home and spend time with our boys before returning to work on Monday. From what I hear, the boys were very excited to see him (but maybe didn't completely recognize him with his "long" hair!). I have been spending time with little Dima, running after him as he gets into everything here in the apartment. He is definitely a curious one and really keeps me on my toes! Our day usually consists of a "big" outing of walking to the nearest McDonalds (about a 20 minute walk), getting a coke for me and french fries for him, and then walking back. The nearest playground does not have any good equipment for little kids, so yesterday I bought him a shovel and pail set so that he could play in the sand at the playground. He had a lot of fun with the pail set and then also had to play with it in the bath tub that night! He LOVES baths! He squeals and plays like no other kid I know, and actually LOVES to dump water on his head. He gets a bath everyday now just to have fun, if for nothing else.
Well, I best be off. Dima has lost interest in what he was playing with and is now getting into things he shouldn't! Off to run after my little speed child!
By the way, we expect to get his passport on Tueday or Wednesday and then it will be off to do the medical and go to the Embassy for his visa. I hope to be on a plane this time next week! Please pray for no more delays. Much love to everyone at home.
Candace (and Dima!)

I am so glad you have kept this blog! Thank you for keeping us updated. Can't wait for you to get home!
Tell Galya hello for us and please give her a big hug from us as well.
She was wonderful when we were there.
I can't wait to hear when you get home, perhaps we'll be able to be at the airport to greet you. We came home in Dec of 2006 with our 2.5 yr old Kole.

Kristi, Tad, Kelsey and Kole.
We're glad to hear you're staying busy - not that we expected anything else with an active 2 year old! Embrace this time of bonding. You will have your hands full when you come home to the rest of your brood because they will have much to share with you. Dave arrived safely and has been able to spend time with the boys. They are anxious for you and Dima to come as well. We pray that there will be no more delays and we can soon rejoice together in Louisville with the addition of this little one.
Much Love,
Mom and Dad Crowder
your speedy and safe trip home is in our prayers :-)
Hope the passports go quickly. I understand ready to be home.
Tammy and Kevin
My thoughts are with you on this long (yet joyful) journey!
What a beautiful little angel you have! My youngest son was a "Dima" also... we ended up calling him other things... like Scream-ma and Dimka...
Such a cutie!
Good luck and best wishes!
