It was a beautiful snowy day here yesterday, lots of snow and very, very cold at least -10 even though the forecast said 4! We went to visit Luke and he was a very active 3 year old, eating everything and into everything :-)He certainly likes to ham it up for the camera now.
He will also look in the mirror and say Kostya eee (and) Mama eee Papa!Mark reads his Curious George book to him and he says GEEOORRGGG! and smacks the photos of the monkey with a stuffed monkey he has in his hand!
Mark took some really great photos on the way there, the scenery was just breathtaking. We also took some photos of some our favorite cottages in his town.
This one was taken just outside his orphanage in front of the tree where we took our Christmas picture last year.
On the way back we stopped in the forest and Kirill took some photos of us.
These last photos are of the trip home, the trees absolutely glistened in the sunshine, and the churches in the snow were so beautiful.
Today we had a wonderful day of rest and tonight we are going out for a celebration dinner with the Platters and Kirill and Nadia to an Italian restaurant.
Tomorrow it's off to see our boy! Love to all!

We are so excited for you and thank God for His answers to all our prayers. What a testimony you have of His faithfulness. You are a beautiful, happy family now and we can't wait till you are safely on U.S soil. This will be a Christmas you'll never forget.
You're still in our prayers. Ethel & Ardyth
Brrrrrrrrrrr! You will probably need to get out your summer clothes when you arrive home so you can survive the 30-50degrees warmer in Columbia. Thanks for the great pics, the snow and ice make a beautiful scene and a wonderful backdrop for such an awesome couple. Love to all three of you.
We are expecting Snow here today. The more I see the pictures the more excited I am to get to see him in person. Maybe we will have some snow to play in after you get home.
Hi Danette,Mark, & Luke,
So glad to hear from you. Praise be to the Lord that you are now a family of three. We loved the pictures that you sent. Luke acts and looks like the typical Woods. We thought the pictures of the scenery were outstanding. I'm sure that it is beautiful there when the snow is on the ground. However, we got snow today also. In fact, I drove home from Kansas City with Aunt Sue today. The roads were awful. Several cars (at least) 15 were off the road in ditches and in the median. Suppose to have more bad weather in the next day or two. It was nice talking to you and hearing your voice. We can tell how happy you are and about time that things start going your way. Tell Mark to put his arms around you with a big hug from your Mom & Dad. Love to all of you.

Wow, what beautiful pictures of the snow and your new family!!! I know you are anxious for Luke to see his new home in the US. How wonderful to all be home for Christmas. Keep the updates coming and safe travels to you all.
