Lots To Do

I leave one week from today.  Still lots to do.  A friend gave me a lot of stuff for the little man.  I greatly appreciate her generosity, now I have to find a place to put it all!  That, with packing, getting his bedroom and playroom ready, child proofing, etc. I'm busy, but it's all good.  

Going to the Yankees Opening Day tomorrow, should be fun but cold and damp as a winter storm approaches tomorrow night.  It will be a good way to get me in shape for the cold weather in Russia.  Happy Spring!!!

Court Date

Today CHI called.  My court date is April 14th.  I will be going to Moscow on April 6th. so I can visit the little man several more times before court.  Lots to do before I go, I'll post again soon. 

Time To Fly

I'll be heading to the airport in a little while.  Looks like a beautiful day to fly.  I'll be arriving in Moscow at about 12:30 tomorrow afternoon.  I'll post again Monday afternoon, Moscow time. 

Thanks to everyone for your encouragement and support.  Chris

Getting Ready To Go

Today I had my travel call, everything is set for me to leave Sunday.  I'm pretty much ready to go, just a few more things to get together. 

A line from an old rock n' roll song keeps playing in my head, 'Catch your dreams before they slip away'. 

As I take the next steps on this long journey, I'm hoping to finally catch my dreams...  follow along!

Happy Birthday Julian!

Snow, Snow & More Snow.....

We are now in the middle of what the weather reporters are saying is our eighth snow storm this season, I don't know about the rest of you but I've had enough!  While I've been getting ready to leave, I can't help but watch the weather reports.  The next snow storm is scheduled for Saturday; I'm not surprised because it's the same day I'm leaving for Moscow.   Hopefully the weather reports are wrong, we'll see!   

Travel Dates!

For those of you who have been following my adoption journey, you know that if it's winter it means it's time for me to travel to Eastern Europe!  I found out today that I have been invited to travel to Moscow in early February.  At this point I don't have many details, I just know I have a lot to do to get ready to go.  I'll post again soon.
