It's Official!

We got our visas today and we're officially going to Russia!! Yee Haw! I can't wait to meet our little guys!
To answer some of Jody's questions, yes it does seem real, now that we have our visas!=) We are getting things together to be packed but have everything we need. My sister's gifts arrived the other day. She bought some jewelry, cds and a wallet from Target. Chris' mom picked up some chocolate, coffee and Florida tee-shirts for us today for part of our gifts to give. She loved having a "mission" for us. I would have done it myself except I've been holed up in our house the past 2 days waiting for these important Fed-ex packages.=) We aren't really sure what kinds of gifts to bring, most people (including us) just wing it and get a mixed bunch of goodies for gifts. It's really just the thought that counts to them. I'm not sure how many gifts we'll need so I brought a bunch of stuff and I'm not entirely sure as to who they are going to yet except for the orphanage workers, drivers and translators and a few people at the MOE. I'm not posting pictures of the kids until after our court date as it is not allowed. Thanks for all your questions Jody but especially all of your prayers. We love you and we're so thankful for you and your family. BTW, I'll be sending those magnets to Melody when I get back.=)
Okay everyone, I think I'll post one more time after this right before we leave for the airport. We will try our best to post in Russia but it depends on if we can get internet service. Please pray for us and remember that it's 12 hours ahead of our time in Kras. Thanks so much!!!
