We arrived in Omaha at 2:00 am, Monday, February 4. The next couple of days consisted of shopping and introducing the kids to their brother Geoff, Gail's mom and some people that Gail and Steve work with. Thursday, after Steve got off work, we piled into the van and drove three hours to Cozad, NE to introduce them to their other Grandma, Steve's mom, Gen. After lunch Friday, it was back into the van for a six hour drive to Alva, OK to see their niece MaKenzie (age 6), take part in the Miss Northwestern Pageant in a dance routine and as an escort for one of the contestants. They also met big sisters Amy and Alysson and nephews Weston (age 3) and Wyatt (age 1) and brothers-in -law Corey and Matt. Another three hours of driving to Woodward, OK and back to Alva to see Corey, Amy and MaKenzie's home came on Saturday.
I am posting this from the motel in Alva, OK as we are getting ready to go to church with Matt, Alysson, Weston and Wyatt. After church, we will have lunch and make the six and one half hour drive back to Omaha. The kids haven't even been in the US for a week, and they have been in four states, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. They go to school tomorrow for some placement testing and then start on Tuesday. I think that they are ready, but a little nervous. Masha said that she is ready to meet new friends.
I will post some photos of this road trip when we get back to Omaha.

I'm so glad you're able to do all the things you were looking forward to while in Odessa. It almost seems like a lifetime ago, doesn't it? Almost? ;)
What an exciting week! Good luck to the kids on their first day of school, I'm sure they'll do great!
Wow, what a whirlwind! Such fun to meet the family in so many states. I hope you're all settled in now. How are the kids doing in school and all? I'm eager to see an update. :-) (I'm sure you're all tuckered out from being so busy, so don't worry about my eagerness!)
Steve and Gail,
How is everything going? I hope all of you are doing well.
Hey everybody. How are you doing? How is school? I hope you'll have a great Easter this year. God send to us a great prasent His Son and only Son.
God bless you all.
