Our Days in Chernigivika

I am amazed with the Director here, Alex!!!  Sergey keeps telling us that being treated like kings (are that is what they are doing!) is uneard of in his 10 years of doing this.  He has given Jason, Thomas, and me an area with 2 small beds (we will make it work), a living room, bathroom, and kitchen.  I will say none of it is glamorous, by any means, but we are so comfortable here.  He was so kind to even give Sergey a room.  Then, he offered us 3 meals a day here...and they serve it to us!?!?!?!!!  And it is actually delicious - today potato soup, potatoes with gravy and meat, pickles, and pickled tomatoes!!  They are also just letting Vika stay with us the entire time.  When we got here (it was about 11:30 because we had to go to the Notary in Zap and then drive here) she was standing at the window waiting on us and had been since breakfast!!! 
It is so great just to be able to be here with her hanging out.  Thomas is beyond thrilled and will not let her out of his sight.  Finally...we can settle in as a family and wait on paperwork!
