Wooooo Hoooooo!! We got travel dates this morning and we are so excited!! What an emotional roller coaster we are right now!! Travel dates mean applying for Visas, running around like mad to get everything ready, packing, cleaning, praying, praying again, and praying some more!!! We never thought we would get to return so fast and we are so thankful we can!
We leave on April 9th to head back to Moscow. I am trying to book flights now and have a zillion phone calls to make at lunch time. We are still working on having our police clearances back in time, so please send some extra prayers up on that one still!!
We cannot wait to see our little guy again. I hope and pray God keeps him safe and comforted everyday and that he knows in his little heart that we are coming back for him. We miss him so much!
As for the baby shower – here is yet another clue from my older sister!
OHHHHHHH AND YOU BABY SHOWER GOERS, DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT FORGET YOUR PAIR OF SOCKS!!!!! ;)HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!AND YES RACHEL YOU WILL BE BLINDFOLDED.
Blindfolded with socks on – that’s reassuring!!!!!!!

And Counting...
Two days and we leave – how did this happen? I thought we would never get to this point and now I’m trying to figure out how we got here!! I think we are almost all set. Our Visas are coming in today – talk about last minute. I’ve already had enough panic attacks over them arriving at all that I’m all panicked out, which is probably a good thing. We have our blood work results, lots of original documents in hand and our chest xrays films are now complete and ready to be packed.
Have I mentioned I haven’t packed yet? Oh yeah – we’re a little behind. Tonight my wonderful sister-in-law, Amber, is coming over to help make sure my head is on straight and she is going to do some things around the house to help me out. Thank you, thank you! Tomorrow, my sisters and my mom are carting me all over town to pick up the last minute things and help me pack. I just know my older sister, Cathy, can cram everything we own into one suitcase – she’s good at things like that!
Lastly, I need to make a few shout outs:
Congratulations to Carey & Norman on the completion of their Russian Fairy Tale
Hip Hip Hooray to Carrie and Michael who finally received their court date!
Becky & Keith are counting down to tomorrow for some travel dates – you deserve them!
Janine has a referral!! She leaves March 11th!
Matt & Patti are counting down their 10 days in Astrakhan for their son!
Lots of others are in between trips or on the edge of referrals. What an exciting time in Russian adoptions right now!!

We have dates!
Okay - we finally have dates. We are leaving....dum, dum, dum dummmmmmmmmmm
Saturday - this Saturday - March 8th!!! Set to return on the 15th. Holy cow! We're in panic mode!!
Looks like we won't be spending much time in Moscow at all except long enough to get off the plane and hop a night train to our region. We may have one night in Moscow on the way back to do our medical exams. I was hoping to see some of Moscow, but maybe next trip!
The train sounds great. It's overnight, but we should get to see alot of the countryside in the morning going into the region which is something I really wanted to do. Troy hasn't been on a train before either, so I think he will like it. We used to take trains all the time when I was young.
We are so excited!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to be posting while in Russia!
