5 Days Left!

5 days from now and we will be on our way to Ukraine. We are excited and exhausted!!!

The past 3 weeks have been spent working on the kids room. It took a lot longer than expected since there were 2 layers of wallpaper that had to be torn down before we could start painting. It was hot, exhausting work (90 degree temps) but it is finally finished. We went with a neutral cream color and white trim with a fun, colorful alphabet border and a cool bunk bed.

ALL of the wallpaper is now gone from our house! This was the last room that needed a major overhaul. We are going to take a break from any additional house project for awhile.

We will keep everyone posted when we arrive in Kiev. Keep us in your thoughts.

Jeff and Kathy,

What an adventure! This will be a lifetime memory for the two of you. Be strong and supportive and be open to whatever comes your way. One day, the story of how your child(ren) came into your world will be something he/she/they will cherish forever. Be safe. I can't wait to see /hear the news along the way.

Very happy for both of you,

Jim Angelillo
