We made it to Moscow!
We got in a few hours ago and checked in to the Novotel Hotel which is literally 2 minutes from the airport. We had a 10 hr layover so we decided to try to get some shut-eye at the hotel. We'll be leaving soon to go back to the airport for our flight to Kras. We are so happy to be traveling with our new PAP friends, the Swingles. They are a great couple, adopting an 18mo old boy from Kras. Anyway, the internet here is NOT free so just a quick check in to let you know we made it to Russia. Now we're off for Siberia!=) Keep us in prayer (Sunday night for you guys). Also, family members, we cannot use our cell phones here but we can call you via Skype. If you don't recognize the phone number and it has an odd area code, it's us so pick up!! We'll be in touch!

So glad you made the first leg safe. I'll be praying for you tonight that all goes well. Looking forward to hearing the details.
I'm so glad you arrived in Moscow safely. Hopefully you were able to rest up some. Can't wait to hear more.
Skype was a huge blessing for us when we were in Russia. We were able to call home with very little expense.
Have a great trip to Kras!
Glad to hear you made it safely to Moscow! That was THE LONGEST flight I'd ever been on in my life, and I felt every minute of it! I was way too excited on the way over to get much sleep. I hope you were able to rest at the hotel! Can't wait to hear about you meeting the kids!
Enjoy every moment!
