You know what will happen is once you have only a couple of days the time will fly.
Joy
It will be here before you know it! I hope we have a chance to meet you all while we are in Moscow!
Ana, did I somehow miss that we'll both be in Moscow at the same time?!! We depart 28 March for our 31 March court date, return April 1. Email me if you're on the same schedule! sallyandcarlos@yahoo.com
Keep your chin up -- you'll be home with Eli before you know it! By the way, I saw on one of the baby naming sites that Eli is the hot name of 2008 -- I didn't know you were such a trendsetter! Lori
