Ukraine, here we come!

Our 2007 Russian Family Picture:
BACK: Gleb, Sam, Danielle, Vadim, Dennis,Timur,Anya
FRONT: Lena, Jessica, Joshua, Dedushka (GPA), Babushka (GMA), Sasha, Rita, Alex

Connections: There's Babushka and Dedushka who have Alex (my dad), Vadim and Lena. Alex is married to Danielle and they have us 4. Vadim is married to Rita and they have a son, Dennis. Rita's son is Timur and his wife Anya. They have 2 girls (not pictured). Lena is married to Gleb and they had a baby boy named Igor (not pictured-wasn't born yet :-) )
We are headed on the train tomorrow night (9PM our time if you wanted to know) for Kharkov, Ukraine. There we will go to the grandparent's apartment, we will freshen up and then...
Babushka, Mom, Rita, Jessica, Joshua and Dennis will take a 4-hour train to Krumenchug, where Lena and Gleb live. Dedushka, Vadim, Alex, Sasha and Sam will take a 5 hour car ride with all the luggage to there. We will be in Krumenchug until Saturday at 3, and then the K Clan (us 6) will take a train from Krumenchug to Moscow (we will get back at 9 AM Sunday). I don't know how the rest are getting back.
So...the point of this post is: 1. to tell you blogging people in the blogging world that we will be on vacation and won't have internet connection.
2. I PROMISE to post and take LOTS and LOTS of pictures for you to see, every step of the way.
3. Please pray for protection on all of the trains, and that we have a wonderful time spending time with our family.
Ok, thats it! I will be around on Sunday, but, keep the emails and comments coming, it will be nice to get them when we get back!
