Eating soup was one of the things we all ate most while over there, it was really the best thing we could make that was decent enough.

This is an apartment that was provided for us to stay by our adoption agency.

From June 16 - July 6, I was in Ukraine with my family for an adoption of a little girl, Julia. The trip was a great experience for all of us. My mom, sister Brooke, and I came back home together on July 6 leaving my dad over there for two more weeks to finalize everything before bringing Julia home.
