Freedom Train to Sevastopal

Cari and the girls are at this hour on the train from Donetsk to Sevastopol.  Today was liberation day for Inna and Arianne.  Early this morning after overcoming car troubles with Sasha, the girls walked out of Uglegorsk as Lance girls, legally free to go home with their Mom and on to their new home in America.

They all went back to the apartment and the girls decided to stayed at the apartment with Anya while Cari and Viktor went to the vital statistics offices in Enakieve for Inna's birth certificate to be reissued and Novogrodivka for Arianne's.  Then they traveled to Donetsk with the girls for passports and then finally spent one hour and half shopping and resting before catching their train bound for Sevastopol to see our dearest friend Ira (my Ukrainian sister).   Cari said that the girls were all smiles so very happy to be free and at last embarking on the next leg of their great adventure.

They are set to arrive in Sevastopal at 6:00 AM.  Ira has a full day of fun planned for them tomorrow.  When I talked to them this afternoon everyone's voice reflected great joy.  Cari is so happy to have our girls with her and  on for the next great fun.  Will post pictures when able.  The girls will stay in Sevastopal until sunday night when they fly to Kiev for out-processing via US Embassy, touring and on November 17 home through Moscow and Washington, D.C.  You all can be sure that Garrett, Jake and I are overjoyed at knowing that our family with be reunited that day.  Thanks for all of  your kind notes and prayers.
