Almost Finished!

Hey friends! Sorry about the delay in updates. We are in Moscow now with more limited internet access. One hour of internet goes by fast when you have to catch up with your boys back home. We left Krasnoyarsk early Wednesday morning and arrived in Moscow early Wednesday morning (long day). The flight went about as well as you could hope for a kid in a strange place with strange people on an airplane for the first time. We had time to kill that day, so we went out in search of a stroller to do some sightseeing. Our search yielded nothing as the famous children's mall in Moscow has apparently been closed for 3 years for renovation (we didn't find this out until after we got there). So instead, since we were almost there already, we continued on to Red Square. Little dude doesn't much like to be carried by daddy, and mommy's arms can only handle so much. Mix that with that fact that everyone was a little crabby from getting up at 3:45 in the morning, it wasn't the most fun time any of us have ever had. But we survived, and it was good to get out.

Micah had his visit from the doctor here at the room. We were informed that he was a favored son at the orphanage, and that he was obviously used to getting what he wants (we didn't need to pay $200 to find that one out). We finally found a stroller at another mall yesterday, so we were able to do more sightseeing, and it was a much more enjoyable time for everyone. We even got to see a few things that we didn't last time.

Later this morning we have our visit with the embassy to get his visa. That should go fine, and we should be ready to head home tomorrow. Our boys arrived back in Escondido just a few hours ago and are happy to be home. We can't wait to see them in a couple of days.
