Well, the good news is...Luba has the passport! The bad news is...she's still in Dnip. She will arrive tonight at 11 pm by train. Sooooo...we missed our appointment at the embassy today. BUT we got another one for tomorrow at 11:30am. Hopefully we will get the visa tomorrow evening because we had to book the last 4 seats available for Sunday. There isn't any seats available until after Sept 10 so we are praying that the US Government is speedier and more efficient than the Ukrainian government (the passport part anyway) haha. I will let you know tomorrow if we get the visa and are able to fly home Sunday. I'll give flight info then as well but I think it arrives around 5pm.
Thank you all for your support. Those of you who have been through this know exactly what we are feeling. We are keeping positive and trying not to let it get us too down. The past few weeks have felt like a roller coaster ride with huge hurdles. But it will all be just a blip in our memories soon enough.
On a good note, Emma seems to be adjusting nicely. Although I'm not sure what she is thinking. We've changed apartments 3 times since she's been with us and hopefully she's not thinking that this is IT! I can imagine she is saying to herself "Wow, I've joined a family a vegabonds". She is getting along well with Lucas, but he is feeling the reality of having a full time sister. There have been a few minor scraps but nothing too major. Emma is picking up english quickly and she says everything that Lucas says. She says "night, night Mama...I love you" when she goes to bed. It is so cute. I really can't wait for you all to meet her.
Well, my family is waving for me to finish up. I will let you all know about Sunday. We're off to walk the streets of Kyiv. BTW...it's quite cool in Kyiv...at least it's not hot...we're very grateful for that!
Lots of Love,
L,C,L & E

Hooray for the positive news on the passport!
Get those US officials in gear tomorrow girl! Praying for another positive, and you home in your own beds on Sunday night!
What great news! I can't help but think that those last 4 seats were meant for you all! Why else would they have even been available if not for you to travel safely home on Sunday??? Miss you!!!

Of course the US Gov. is going to pull through for the Bush Family. Just let them know that you have people waiting at the airport to welcome all of you, and they will move things right along for you guys. We will continue to pray that things go smoothly for you tomorrow. Mike and Mary
Lisa, Of course those last four seats were meant for the Bush Family!! I'm keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed that everything goes well and ALL of you make that flight on Sunday. Unfortunately, we will be in Galveston through Monday so I don't think I can make the airport this time. I'm really upset, but the YaYas are planning to come over next week (yes, we're inviting ourselves!!).
Love you all. Be safe. The countdown has begun!

Maybe you could let there be a little confusion about WHICH Bush family you belong to. That may speed up the Embassy....
Hoping you can lay your heads on your own pillows in a few days!
Greetings from the home front! How wonderful it must be to hear those sweet words coming from Emma!You are doing something very special!!!A match made in heaven, for sure!!!
