During the month of July 2011, we hosted 2 Ukrainian brothers, Ivan and Anatoliy through New Horizons for Children. We hosted with the intent of "Host Only." But our hearts were moved in a different direction.

Arrival
Tuesday night all 5 of us drove to the Charlotte airport to pick up the boys. Their flight was supposed to land at 8:30, but just our luck that Charlotte had a record rainfall night with almost 2 inches of rain and the flight was delayed till about 10:30. We finally met them at 11:30 with big hugs from us, and expected shyness and nervousness from Ivan and Anatoliy. Luckily we had a translator at the airport that could explain a few things to them and us. Once home at 12:15am, I & A ate bologna sandwiches - they love bologna -, showered and got dressed for bed. Matt showed them the shower and toilet, and they seem to have figured them both out. Now we just need to get them to understand to turn the shower OFF when they are done:)
