Countdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of you may have heard the good news by now; a couple of weeks ago, we learned that Masha had an opportunity to come back to America for a couple of weeks in late March for another hosting program. Since we are still very uncertain about when we might be able to travel to Ukraine, we leapt at the opportunity to bring her here, even for a short time.

The tentative date for her arrival is 17 March, and I've added a countdown clock at the top. We will be very busy planning her visit, and we're getting crazy excited to see her again!!! We won't have a day camp this time, but I suspect that we'll still find plenty to keep us all busy during her stay, including a lot of English lessons, games, and trips to the YMCA pool! In addition, one of her friends from the program last summer is also coming back, so I'm certain that we'll be doing a lot together too.

The rest of the kids participating in this spring's program are headed to Colorado for a great US experience!! As of today, there are still some kids that are unmatched with host families; anyone in the Denver area interested in hosting can find information here.
