1/11 - Phone Visit w/Kids

Today was the first day we got to talk to the kids since they've been back in Latvia. They were both right near the phone so they took turns handing the phone back and forth. Olegs reverted back to his simple "yes" "no" answers. There were people around so he may have been embarrased to say more. Kristine was just the opposite. When she got on the phone, she immediately said, "this is Britney Spears"...(remember, she wants to be "Britney" now?). Well, we quickly changed the subject (we'll deal with the name choices later). Kristine was excited to say it will be 16 more days until we get to Latvia. That was good to hear. If she's counting down the days, then that tells us she's excited. We also got to speak to her best friend, Agnese. We had sent her a small gift and she thanked us for it. We told her we're looking forward to meeting her when we're in Latvia.
