We've Got Travel Dates!

Wow! What a whirlwind of activity. As many of you already know, we got the call on Thursday, January 11th that they had a boy and a girl for us in the Orenburg region of Russia. This past Wednesday, the 17th of January, we got the call telling us when we needed to be in Moscow by. So, we are leaving on February 4th and will be home on the 12th. About a week turn around time. We added 2 days on to the end since it was the weekend and it's a 3 day weekend for me in order to see Moscow. Figured it'd be easier just the 2 of us rather than with 2 kids. We'll also take them to some places to have our pictures taken with them so they can have pictures of us with them in their country. So, we have been busy, busy, busy. We went out last night and bought cold weather clothes. Most of it was on clearance so we sort of had to scrounge. I am going to spend this weekend starting to put stuff together for the trip. I am just praying that the kids are healthy and that nothing happens before we get over there. There is always the possibility of losing the referral. Keep your fingers crossed for us. We are taking the laptop and will try to communicate with everyone while we are there via the internet. This blog is how you'll konw what's going on. People have asked me to post pictures here of us with the children in Russia. Sorry! Can't post them on the internet until they are legally ours. You'll just have to wait. I"ll post pictures of other things and places though. Well, it's Friday night and it's been a long week. I am going to go unwind. This is a really busy time at work right now so putting this adoption in right now wasn't the best timing but I'll take it.
