We're in Russia!

We have arrived in Russia. It was a long trip. Charles was able to fall asleep on the plane. I had a much harder time. We had a nap at our hotel then had an early dinner at a little Italian restuarant.

It is extremely cold here! They have snow everywhere! It's supposed to snow while we are here this week.

Last night while walking to dinner, Charles and I wore our matching Sorel snow boots. We past a lady walking with her child and she stared at our matching boots and laughed out loud at us. Oh well, our feet were very warm, I bet her feet were cold.

We are supposed to be sleeping right now, it's twelve o'clock and we are both up. Charles is working on emails.

Tomorrow is a big day for us. Keep us in your prayers. God is watching over us every step of the way. He knows exactly what's going to happen next for our family. As matter of fact, He knew even before we were born. He's in total control. What a wonderful feeling.

A Little Girl Might be Available!

We received an email from Anna on Dec 23rd.  They have a little girl that might be available for adopiton.  As of right now, she is still available for domestic adoption thru Jan 18th.  On Jan 18th, if she is not adopted locally, we will receive an invitation to go to Russia .  We did not recieve any other information on her age, health or anything else.  We are rushing to get our visas.  If she is still available on Jan. 18th, then we will travel to Russia on Sunday, Jan 23rd through Saturday, Jan 29th.

Gracie is very excited.  She especially can't wait for her grandparents to come and take care of her.
