...small front yard with bright orange flowers that a chain-link fence separates from the sidewalk. Photographs cover the walls in the living room. The pictures show relatives in formal Greek military uniform, several weddings and Katerina--infant photos, yearly school portraits and photos of her as a ballerina. "She stopped lessons last year. They're just too expensive," Vicky said. Katerina's bedroom is full of toys and other contraptions. "She has everything she'd ever need," Vicky said. "My dream is to take her to Greece.
