My wife and I adopted an 8 year old from Kharkov, Ukraine last week. Unfortunately the judge did not waive the 30 day wait period and we had to leave her behind. I am quickly trying to learn how to write in Russian, but would like to ask for help in translating the following for a postcard I want to send her. Thank you for any help!

Dear Katya,

This picture is of the U.S. Capital in Washington, DC. I was recently in Washington, DC for a business trip and was thinking of you.

I hope you are well. We will return to Ukraine within a couple of weeks to bring you home with us.

We miss you and love you.

Dad
