We are still going to Bulgaria!

Well, no, not to adopt, after all. It seems that the Bulgaria program is now suspended and we are being pressured into adopting from the agency's "pet" countries, some of which are non-Hague countries. We are especially being stirred towards Ukraine. I am not sure what we will end up doing, but we are going to Bulgaria in the summer! For a holiday!

You might ask, "Why do you travel from one hot, sandy, beautiful seaside to another?" The answer is... because it's Bulgaria! We spent a wonderful two weeks in Burgas a few years ago, and I had been there a few times as a kid.

Summer plans have changed once again, and I am afraid pretty much this means the end of Szarvas participation for my boys--at least for a few years. As much as Craig enjoyed his first time, and as much as it has been our "tradition", I have to realise that whatever was ideal for my generation, it might not be that for the next one.

Also: Still laughing that hypocrite known as Miss California. Not that I ever look at TMZ, but I believe when they say they have the video with her doing some "Biblically inapropriate things!"

Summer plans!

Well, with only two weeks left of the school year, we are ready with most of our summer plans!

Craig finishes elementary school on June 30, and there is a ceremony and a concert with his school. The next day is the twins' gan graduation--we are lucky that got postponed a day!

Early on July 3 the boys leave for California with Janice (the twins' mom) to see their family there and also visit Craig's mom's sister in Nevada. Kevin will join them for about a week while I'm in Budapest.

July 28th Nathan, a childhood friend will come to visit us in Israel (2 days after I get back from Hungary) and will stay for 10 days, so the boys will have time with their Uncle Nathan. In August I have back surgery, and Craig was supposed to go to Szarvas again for the Lauder/JOINT International Jewish Youth Camp, but then we got word that the CI day camp is at the same time, and we opted for donating his Szarvas spot to someone else. He and the twins can all go next year! So I'll have all the boys home for 25 days! Woohoo!
