Happy Valentine's Day everyone! It is 6:32pm Saturday night here (10:32am there) and we have certainly had a day of LOVE! Ha Ha! We have not left the house today, but it has been nice. Jackson did sleep in a tiny bit....until 8am, so we had a pretty restful night. Then, we got up and I got all his Valentines together that his special friends had made him. He was so excited and read each one! He was especially excited about the princess ones...haha! Anyway, Greg and I got him a Valentine too. We got him some used games for the Nintendo GameBoy that will also fit into his Nintendo DS. He was very excited. But, he did want to know where we got them. So, we told him we got them before we left home. About 30 mins. later he said, "Why have you made me wait for all these days since we've been here?" HaHa. We reminded him that they were a Valentine's Day present and he said "Oh yeah. I forgot." Never satisfied, huh? Anyway, we did some laundry and actually cooked dinner tonight. We cooked spaghetti, but when we were at the store asking our translator for sauce he said, "We use ketchup". We kept questioning him and he kept on saying that. So, we went over to the ketchup and they have all these different kinds with different seasonings added. So, we chose one that said it had extra peppers and onions flavoring it. We did end up enjoying it....but, it was nothing like ours at home. It tasted like Chef Boyardee, so Greg and Jackson really enjoyed it. HaHa! We also added English Peas for a green. They were crunchy. Pretty bad I must say, since I don't love English Peas anyway. We wonder if they just eat them that way or if they cook them all day long? Don't really know. Anyway, we have our driver set up to come get us tomorrow for lunch and shopping. Then, we are probably going to splurge and get McDonald's on the way home for dinner tomorrow night! Ha Ha!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we finally decided on names. We took so long because we were thinking we would try to come up with names that were at least close to their old names. But, we ended up just going with names we like and if they want us to call them their Ukrainian names for a while, we can. The oldest is Slavic and he will be Philip Dean Maxwell after my Daddy. He will be called Philip. The baby is Rusic and he will be Ryan Gregory Maxwell after his Daddy. He will be called Ryan. Hope everyone likes those names because we are happy with them and we really struggled for a while! So, our boys will be Philip, Jackson, and Ryan! Well, I hope to hear all about all of your Valentine's Days soon! Love you all!
