Hello from Moscow

hi family & friends.. just a quick note to say we made it from SJ to Atlanta, Atlanta to Moscow (10 hours!) & Moscow to Krasnoyarsk, Siberia (4 1/2 hours). Things went fairly smooth & Thomas did well - the DVD player we borrowed from friend Jack saved us. We met our little boy (can't use name) & got to spend 2 days with him at the orphanage in the play room. Thanks for everyone's prayers...it was not even an issue having thomas with us at the orphanage.. thomas & our new little guy played together & we got to feed him his snack - even thomas gave him some spoonfulls. The whole experience has been surreal & a bit of just trying to survive as i was terribly motion sick & jet lagged for the first 2 days & not expecting that at all. We've been taking 1 step at a time... we are heading home tomorrow...just arrived back in Moscow today. Throughout the trip i just kept not believing we were really here...when we finally got to meet our new little guy, he was just standing there with a caregiver & we walked in & there he was, so tiny & just waiting... we got to see some of the other children the 2nd day cause we were in the play room which is their music room too...seeing all the faces made it so real & it was a mix of feeling...we were at least able to take 1 child from that place. We took tons of pictures...the sights here are like out of old movies...lots & lots of tall tall apartment buildings in Krasnoyarsk...cannot explain in words...ok, bye for now...again, thanks for all your prayers & well wishes for a smooth trip = it's been a success.
