We have our court date!!! It's this Monday, Oct. 20th. The plan is to head to Donetsk Monday after court. Mary and the boys are going to be staying in Donetesk during the 10 day waiting period. They are going to be sharing an apartment with Heather Smith, who is now in the same hotel as we are. It's really good to have her here. We've been going to dinner every night. I (Larry) have to go to Luxembourg to work during the 10 days. My employer has offices there and I need to work a bit as I'm almost out of vacation. During the 10 days, Mary and Heather will venture out here every few days to visit our respective children. We're worried that they'll think we've abandoned them even though they've been told what is going happen. It seems like a good plan.
The visits have been going well. It seems like we're starting to communicate a bit more. It's probably a combination of her learning some English and us learning some Russian. We're having to cut down on the snacks we bring. She has a huge sweet tooth. We're not going to be able to visit her today (the 16th). Our driver is off transporting the school director to Donetsk for the day and can't take us over to the school. She was a little upset when we left yesterday but she did wave good bye to us. I made the mistake of not remembering that we weren't coming today and originally told her that we'd be there at the normal time. Our facilitator called to smooth things over.
