We had another great morning with the little ones. We had the stroller today and that was a big hit. You can see from the pictures. We have figured out how to put three in there. Either Jacob and Kailyn in the back and Alyssa in the front or Jacob in the back Alyssa in the front and Kailyn on top. She doesn't sit for long though. Car seats are going to be a challenge with her. We are going to start strapping her in the stroller some to get her used to the feeling of being strapped in. She is very stubborn and wants things her way only.
Jacob spent about 20 minutes just rolling the suitcase around the front of the orphange. He wants a blue one like that.
Miss Trish get ready we need another microwave. Kailyn is a music fan. She calms down very quickly when we have music. Jacob is also a music fan. Jaryd says not so much. He is going to be my baseball player. He has a very good arm and he can run like the wind.
We are having a great time. We even had some Ukrainian mexican food today. It was pretty good I do have to say. Alyssa is doing well. She is having some adjusting problems, but that will get easier with time. She cries when we leave and the kids cry when we leave. She wants them to come home soon. She already is preparing for them to be at the apartment.
Hopefully on Monday we will take Jaryd out of the orphange for about 3 hours and will have dinner and do some English lessons.
That's about it for now.
Love to all and thanks for all the comments. It is so encouraging to hear from everyone. We will continue to post as often as we can. Our translator leaves tomorrow. That is going to be hard. There is a group here from the states working at a church so we will hopefully be able to use them.
Tammy, Kevin, Alyssa, Jaryd, Jacob, and Kailyn

It is so inspiring to hear that things are going so well with your adoption! Ukrainian/mexican food...hmm that sounds interesting!
Hey guys! It is so exciting to see all the pics and see that you all are doing great! I was wondering how the kids were taking to Kev and then you posted the pics and I see that everyone is doing great! We are praying for you all and praying ALL the hurdles and mountains that you have to overcome will go smoothly!

Glad things are continuing to go well! The kiddos are adorable :)
I was sitting here at my computer and suddenly thought of you. Weird Right. So I googled you and this site came up. I am thrilled for you and your family. Three children, how fantastic! I will put this site on my favorites and check on you often.

We helped and hosted Ilya (now Jaryd) when he came to Dallas in March. I have some pictures that I would be happy to share with you. The thing we noticed about him was his sense of humor. He was so funny! Congrats to you! They are all adorable!
Dear Kevin and Tammy,
WOW! three children!!! I am so happy for you! You are such a blessing! I can't wait to meet them all. If there is anything you need before or after you return I will be glad to help. Lots of love to you all !! What a beautiful family!
Good morning, well it is morning here. :)
My heart bursts with joy when I look at the pics of you,Kevin and Allysa with those sweeties. Know you are well missed here, but we know it will take some time to get everything taken care of in order to bring your babies home.
Be sure to remember to take care of yourselves as well as the children. It's very easy to get run-down at times like this.
Our prayers are with you.
Hugs to all,
Cyndie Smith
