We have very little time to post because...WERE GOING TO MEET HIM IN 30 MINUTES!!! Things have gone fairly smooth so far. We will post pics and other information later tonight (its 10:30 Monday morning here).
A brief update:
Got to Moscow after a very long 9 hour flight from New York yesterday morning. We were greeted by two sweet ladies and a driver who gave us a great tour of Red Square as we had some time before we got on the train. We took a 14 hour train ride from Moscow to Petro. We were then greeted by Ann who took us to her apartment where we are now - I just took my first shower in 3 days - very nice. We are meeting with two social workers in just a few minutes and then going to the orphanage...we can hardly wait - this is one of those days that will certainly go in the top 10 list...make that top 3!
By the way - if any of my fellow adoptee bloggers can comment on how I change this site from Russian to English we'd much appreciate it :)

Hi from Moscow. I am sorry I have not posted on here much before now (on our computer in Petro I could not edit this spot). We are now in Moscow and will be heading to Minneapolist tomorrow. So, we will leave here at noon and arrive in Minneapolis at 11 pm but Moscow is 9 hours ahead of us. How long will it take this time for us to travel? I really wish I could be there for the holiday celebration but I will be thinking of all of you and cannot wait to see you all when I return after break. Have a safe and happy holiday!
