Documents and more (again)

Last time I wrote here, we had turned everything in to renew our residency. Then we got a phone call saying that they weren't sure they could process our applications because of an address problem. Our churches prayed, we prayed, the migration bosses had a meeting, we got some more papers, and then we went in to discuss. It turned out that my residency card was already ready. The added papers were enough for my file, so they gave me my card, and I'm done with this step. (Next will be reregistration, which also has some complications this time.) As for Will: he wrote and wrote and wrote. The lady was so nice to sit there, help him figure out what they wanted him to say, and dictate every letter. It all had to be in his handwriting, in good Ukrainian. Russian is easy for us, and Ukrainian is no problem to understand, but writing it is a different story. They decided that they will process his application and give him a new card, but he has to get an apostile from America. They're willing to add that to his file later, though, whenever it comes in, which is really good. So, he's waiting for his card, then reregistration, then a few other things....

He wrote SO much that day!

Other than that, our kids have gotten over their colds and were glad to get out again, after staying home for a week. The music school used a recording of Asya for a little "concert" online; Bogdan's teacher played in the third song there, too.
