Still on the run!

On Saturday as we were picking up Stephan and Nadiya there was a cute girl that was very interested in Nadiya's well being. We asked about her, Katia, she came to america two years ago and stayed with the Morgan's. We asked about her availability, Natasha said she had some siblings but would check. So we might get another girl. We took the kids shopping, what a treat. Give me a good mall, Shopco, or Kohl's. It was radiculous, there were no shoes or clothes for children. When you look for shoes they only have one size in one style. Charrisse opened the suitcase so I'm back a quick comment or two! Imelda Marcos would love the Ukraine! I have never seen so many types , colors, or shapes of shoes. Many of the mens shoes have pointed toes_Like fairy shoes! Vasili has a nice pair of white pointed shoes. Many of the clothes styles seem to be borrowed from MTV or the like(translation:doesn't leave much to the imagination)gjlkjlgjl (oop's back into the suitcase). I don't know where we will find clothes for Nadiya, she is so small. We were able to walk around and see some of the sights. There are a lot of statues of lions it is for Peter the Great. They don't have a statue of him just a lion. There was a monument dedicate for Dumpling Day, it's a region holiday in Poltava. Saturday is a big wedding day in Poltava where ever we went there was a wedding. We took the children to dinner at the buffet restaurant. They have very good food, but it's nothing like our buffets. They dish up the food and weigh it. The children like it though.

Bob and Charrisse,

Katia is a wonderful and very caring girl. We hope you can adopt her. Please check your msn e-mail for further details.

We have a travel date of September 1 for Sumy! Good luck and please say hi to Natasha and Vasily for us!

Thanks,
The Morgans

I have been out of the loop but what happened to the little girl that came and stayed with you last year? Did you adopt her too? I saw her pictures on the layout you did for the regional celebration swap.
