Another great day in Ukraine! The sun shone and the air was a crisp (which is a euphemism for "freezing cold!") 24F degrees. We took advantage of the fact that the car windows weren't fogged up and took some photos en route to the orphanage from the car. The photo of Jonathan with Mike in the "sleeper hold" really shows that Mike has met his match! Mike is icing his neck as I write this :) 
The gold topped churches are stunning in the sunshine!These are some of the nicer houses we've seen. The complex seems to be an abandoned housing project.
Aside from his usual ball playing, Jonathan took a zillion photos including the one of Mike and me and the group photo of Anastasia and her friends presenting us with some very sweet drawings of our new family. The close ups of their artwork are also included. It was simply another great visit. When we left today, Anastasia actually showed some emotion and ran outside after us to give us the two heart drawings! Jonathan actually waited around long enough to say goodbye!
wow
