Ilya loves needlework, but soon learned that it isn't "done" by guys here. And both Sergei and Maxim have gorgeous voices, but there is too much baggage with boys singing here in the US.

Seeing these precious babies that need homes has pricked my heart. I need to do more! I failed you guys by constantly forgetting to send the money for the scarf and hat. I feel awful!

It sounds like it could have been a much more fun trip if we had taken family with us, too. About the sugar, I understand that Ukraine makes its sugar from sugar beats.
