We're back in the US after a whirlwind week in Ukraine.  This post will include some pictures of the kids at the orphanage.  Last night one of our kids described the trip as a short term mission trip and I guess it was.  We took gifts from our small group and neighbors, we were buoyed by your prayers and support, we prayed for direction and hope, and we saw God touch lives.  Here are some pictures...
