Happy St. Patricks Day!!! How lucky is this day for us?! We are set to fly out early today and this time we are going through New York and then direct to Moscow. My parents came into town yesterday and Jordan was leary at first of their arrival ~ remembering to vividly of our last trip. This time though we have her looking forward to her travels to see her cousins in Charleston, SC. She is most excited to meet their new addition... Stella (the dog). She has had her Spiderman costume packed for a week and cannot wait to play with her "brothers." Pop Pop has been taking extra vitamins all week.
We spent the evening packing. The hardest part is packing for winter but keeping the weight down to under 40 lbs (after a couple of glasses of wine.) Mine is no where near.
We travel to Samara on Sunday and will get to see Garrett Monday. Our court date (aka "Gotcha Day") is on Tuesday the 21st. We do not get to officially take him from the orphanage until Wednesday the 22nd. We spend the last 3 days in Moscow going to the American
Embassy and to doctors appts. At that time we will get to do some sight seeing and hopefully just spending time bonding. We are SOOOO excited.I am the luckiest person alive today!!! It is hard for him to imagine what his life is soon to be like. I keep thinking of all the "firsts" he will be having next week. Definitely worth the wait!!
The wind is finally at our backs!!
