Also, the main water pipe for the city broke. (Here's a news video about that.) It only took a few days for them to get it fixed, but those few days were exciting. A water truck came around to the buildings, and everyone lined up for water. The spigot on the truck was frozen at first, so they actually lit a fire to get it going! Our children thought it was great.

Bogdan got a new high chair.
Best friends
This next picture really doesn't show how funny Bogdan looks. Every time he smiles, I think he's holding his jaw off to the side, because his teeth don't line up at all. The funny look probably won't last for long, though, because yesterday and today he seems pretty miserable, which probably means new teeth are coming. I can't see anything yet, though.

Somehow I don't have any new photos of Raia and Asya. I'll have to get some and do a whole blog post devoted to my sweet girls soon.

I love the frozen spigot and the fire idea! A couple years ago, at my parents' house, we had a spigot freeze, and I did the same thing. I built a fire around it, and it thawed out in no time!
Wow!! No water for awhile, that had to be hard! In the picture of the water in the bathtub, is your water always that color, or were they just that dirty???
I should just let you think that they were that dirty. :-) No, every time the water goes off for more than a day, it comes back on like that--or darker!--for a while.
Thankful to see the high chair...love to each precious one there.
Great memories of going for water at the water truck. It made me feel like I'm a real Ukrainian! :)
BTW we just receive word that our invitation letter is ready!
I LOVE the smile! I think Bogdan looks like a Jack-o-lantern! So cute! And, Zhenya in the high chair! The better to get to the food! Love you all and praying for a WONDERFUL trip!
