We are almost ready to leave Russia. There is another family on our flight home, bringing home a 17 month old boy from Novo. I am curious to see how it goes on the plane for them. Our whole trip I keep imagining having to do this with a new baby, and have to admit it frightens me.
I am not ashamed to admit that this is HARD. The language barrier is very difficult. At least here in Moscow we are near the big tourist street, and yes, we ate at the Hard Rock Cafe last night and we were never so happy to hear that someone spoke English. And this morning we went to Starbucks. Yes, Starbucks. Again, not ashamed of that at all. It was a little tiny oasis of English, and I might just have stayed there all day if we didn't have to leave.
We are missing the kiddos a lot about now, and will owe Grandma big time. Sounds like Liam, and maybe Natalie got strep while we were gone.
We will post pictures (although probably can't post Owen pics until after Court) when we are home and not paying for internet minutes. I can feel my time running out as I type.

Tracy,
I'm so glad you finally got to meet baby Owen!! Have a safe trip home. Can't wait to see pictures :)
I hope you are some safely. I can so relate to the hardships of adopting, but as you will soon find out. And as you know it is so worth it when Owen is home running, laughing, snuggling, etc. Can't wait to see some photos. Hope your kiddos at home are feeling better :) Amy
Glad that the first trip is in the books. Maybe we can see some pics on the down low?
BTW, don't know where you guys stand on middle names. Laveranues. Think about it.
Get home safe to a country that will put ice in your drinks!
