Well, it's been over a month in Ukraine and nearly that long without a regular Internet connection BUT today that ends thanks to Viktor Lukoshkin, the director of the clinic. After numerous trips between here and Odesa he provided me with the Sprint broadband modem correctly configured for Windows Vista (not an easy task, mind you!) and all configuration tweaking has been done - no lab needed for testing either for all you at work! Many, many thanks to Viktor for his persistence to make our stay a little bit better!!!

Anyway, I'll cut with the chitchat, as my dad would say, and give you the long ballyhooed pictures of our children Deianna and Caleb. Enjoy!!!!



Hello, my name is Caleb Alexander Czeropski!



Mama, Deianna, and Luda (our AWESOME translator!)


I sleep with my new bear every night - thanks Aunt B & Uncle Steve!


Deianna tries out static electricity - do the hair stylists in America do this???


I bring my new friend with every time mama and papa come to see me!


Deianna showing off her math skills


Big sis blows bubbles for her little brother to blow out (or stomp on)


Who can ride this bike with such big boots on???


Fashinable in her new pink coat wherever she is in the world


I'd rather have Papa push me on this swing cuz my boots are too big to learn to ride the bike! Si-ne (stronger/faster) Papa!!!


First time in papa's lap!
