Susan was able to pick-up Phoebe from school today. Paxton gave Phoebe a big hug then she wanted to lead him through a tour of her school. She said good-bye to her teachers and classmates through a small cookies and juice party; then without much looking back she jumped in the car with Susan.
The whole group arrived in Kiev a few hours later. The driver was willing to take them all the way Kiev for a reasonable price; so they were able to avoid the whole over night train adventure. We're very grateful for this change in plans as it will give them time to get acquainted in a more comfortable space.
There was lots of giggling and excitement in the car between all the kids...a good sign. We're praying the mood endures. At the apartment in Kiev, Phoebe was delighted to play with the light switches, faucets, etc. and dig through everyone's luggage.
They will be in Kiev until they head home on Thursday. Susan and Jamie are looking forward to some more Americanized food in Kiev, but the kids are still not quite willing to try McDonald's again. They found it a little below their standards :-)
