It's been an exciting and eventful year for our family.
Tatiana enrolled in Hillsborough Junior College last January and continued on through the spring, summer and fall semesters in order to improve her English skills.
 In February, we sold the townhouse and moved into our new home, which was four bedrooms, a home office and pool, to accommodate our growing family.
After returning from a one month visit to Russia in July, Tatiana took driving lessons and now drives her own car. In October, in addition to attending school, she became a full time sales associate at J.C.Penneys in Clearwater.
On December 14th, INS informed us that our petition for Natalia (age 9) and Alexander (age 13) to emigrate to the United States has been approved. We're hopeful that visas for the children will be granted in the next few months, and by spring, our family will be together in Tampa.
Finally, Tatiana left for Russia n December 27th in order to celebrate the New Year with the children and her parents.
