Well, we beat you to it -- it's halftime of the Colts-Dolphins game in Indiana, but it's 2007 here. Happy New Year! We have been celebrating with parties and games tonight and, oh yeah, a bajillion fireworks. These here Ukrainians love them some fireworks. It's now 1:00am and fireworks have been going off around the apartment since, well, since we got here basically. But non-stop for the last hour and a half. In fact, you can buy all the hardcore contraband fireworks here -- these ain't no bottle rockets. The city will be covered in Mount Saint Helens-style ash in the morning. I tried to catch some pictures of the fireworks, but you know how pictures of fireworks turn out.
Instead, here's Ellie in her New Year's hat. Didn't see any of those trendy 2007 glasses with the eyes cut out of the zeroes, but thought this hat was way cooler anyway. I wish we could send you footage of Kiev's New Year's Eve programming. Think Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve but replace Dick Clark with Santa, a tinsel-covered grandma, and a whole bunch of white rappers. Ukraine in the membrane, indeed!

Don't you think it's weird that if Leah had a baby in the Ukraine at 12:01am on January 1st and Katy had a baby in Indiana at 7:01pm on December 31st, Leah's baby would actually be older, but we would say that it's younger by a day.
I can't process that information. It's boggling my mind. Is Katy pregnant? :)
No, Katy's not pregnant. I just realized at some point recently that one person could actually be older than another person but because of the time zone they were born in, it might look like they were a day younger.
Nanabooboo? Really? I thought it was Bananabooboo. ;)
