Great news! I'm so excited for you.
WOOHOO - glad your visas are in your hands!
Congratulations!! 1am Friday will be here before you know it!!
Awesome! It was great talking to you today -- thanks for carrying our documents over! I just wish for you that it were Saturday already:) Lori
DOH! I think I meant 1am Saturday, not Friday, didn't I??!!
That's great news! You are one step closer to going to Russia! :)
Hi, Ana,
I read in your Blog about the Pooh you bought...one recommendation I read about long after bringing my daughter home was for you & your husband to sleep with it so that it absorbs your scent (and if you regularly wear perfume, to spray the bear with it when you leave Russia).
God's blessings on your journey!

Mama to E., now 6 and home 5 years!
Yeah! I'm so happy for you!! I remember so clearly when we were just 2 days away from leaving for our 1st trip and now we are home with our little guy and life is perfect! You will be going back for trip 2 before you know it and your little one will be splashing in the pool with you this summer!! Good luck!!
