We are both exhausted. Late yesterday, it became clear that to ensure I (Sherri) could stay alone to complete the adoption of Peter, Todd and I needed to travel to Kiev to sign some paperwork at the US Embassy. So, today, we woke up at 4:30am for a 5:00am drive from Rivne to Kyiv. We were pulled over by the speeding police only once (!) on the way during the 3.5 hour drive to the US Consulate. The Consulate personnel were incredible – very helpful and complete. The highlight of our day was lunch at McDonald's. I know, it's shameful, but we'll fill you in on some of local dining options in a future blog entry. Let me just mention boiled tongue—enough, right?
So a successful day on the paperwork, but our poor driver ended up being stopped by the police for speeding on the way home, too. Luckily, in Ukraine the police are happy to help you with your personal scheduling needs by taking fines at the road side—I'm sure you get the point.
Tonight we're headed to bed early and will look forward to seeing Peter tomorrow morning.

Thanks so much for keeping us up to date. I had to laugh at Todd being excited to eat at McDonalds. We'll have to remind him of that in the future!
