Well, I am just about packed for my trip tomorrow and I am suffering bouts of sadness at leaving my husband and my children behind. I know it is less than a week but the thought of international travel to Siberia in the dead of winter is...scary. Now you can say, "you asked for it." I surely did. It is times like these, when I will be so far from my home that I realize how much everyone there means to me.
With more news on Friday, it is looking more and more like we will have a court date sooner than I thought. I am still not putting all of our eggs in one basket but we appear to be next in line. At the very least, I expect we will go in April if not sooner. I am anxious to nail our Russian facilitator down and see what she has to say.
I am trave
ling with only my back pack and a small suitcase…no checking of bags for me until we get to Moscow…Aeroflot is very strict about carry-ons so I will have to check my larger bag there. For Ellie I am taking a few little music toys, balloons, fruit snacks, a puzzle and some play dough. I thought she might like the feel of it in her hands and it would be a good way for me to see some of her fine motor skills.

we vegged at home after Ruthie got home from gymnastics and went to bed early so we could go to Bush Gardens on Saturday. We spent the whole day there and just took our time wandering around and riding rides that are new since we were there last. We dropped Rusty off at my mom’s house on the way home and he is currently with her and some others in Daytona at his first Nascar race. As for us, we raked leaves today and we are about to sit down to board games while we watch the race. And later, last minute details…More from Russia…stay tuned!

So glad you anticipate a sooner court date. I'm guessing you're in the air somewhere right about now. I'm praying for safe travels for you. Enjoy your visit with your daughter.
We hope your visit this week goes well. We are going to see our daughter for the first time in five months, so we understand your anticipation. I also cried more when my mom took our son than the previous trip. It is hard as a mother to be split. One part of your heart remains home while the other part aches to be in Russia. Looking forward to hearing about your trip!
