We Made it to Russia!!!

I cannot even describe how exhausting the flight over and time change has made us. Man are we old! We landed in Russia around noontime (Russia time) and couldn't wait to shower and the feathers. Only slept a couple of hours as we need to adjust ourselves to the new time zone. We met a wonderful couple on our flight from Frankfurt that are also adopting a boy from our same region. (They are from Delaware) We were told we weren't traveling with any other couples so it was a treat to find out that we have someone to travel with. This is their first adoption and Chris and I felt confident taking them on the subway down to Red Square this afternoon. Basically, every decision was a rock, paper scissor moment. You simply cannot read the signs. We made it though and got to take some great pictures. They are still decorated for Christmas here. It is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

I have my watch set for American time... It helps me to still keep track of Jordan and what she is "probably" doing. Spoke with her this morning and I was happy to hear that Nana and Pop Pop were still very cheerful. (Especially after the birthday party I sent them to yesterday.)

We leave Moscow tomorrow at 1pm to fligh 1 1/2 hours to Samara. Not sure if we get to meet him tomorrow or Wednesday. We are just so excited.

It is FREEZING here. Can't even put it into words. It is nice to have been able to see Russia in all of its seasons.

Thinking of you all and will keep you posted!!
