Talked to Ira!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The phone rang about 9:15 this morning and it was a family from US who are in Ukraine They were able to get Ira on the phone and it was so incredible to hear her sweet voice!!!! We did not have a translator so we both were "winging" it w/ words/phrases we knew. She said she was fine - she understands we will be there soon as we get an invitation. I told her Bentley & Charlie were sleeping on her bed - she just laughed and laughed! She also asked to talk to Poppa - he told her "Merry Christmas" and she was laughing at him!!! We were able to tell her we love her and miss her and that Mama is flying to Ukraine soon. It was so fantastic to hear her tell us "I love you too"!!! What an amazing gift that was given to us to be able to talk to her!!!!!
