There's No Place Like Home
Sunday, December 9, 2007
After 22½ hours of mind-numbing travel yesterday, we’re finally home!
A hot shower & a good night’s sleep has done wonders for both of us. It was incredibly nice to sleep in our own comfy bed again. It’ll be interesting to see how the jetlag on this side of the world effects us, having gained 9 hours instead of losing it this time around.
It seems like we’ve brought just a hint of the Moscow weather back home with us. The current temperature here is 35°... Brr! The first thing on our "to do" list for today is to get some pictures of Liam printed off for the Babushkas. We don’t dare go see them without photos to share!
During our stay in Moscow, I kept notes of items that we took & didn’t need and items we didn’t take but needed for the trip. I’ll be sharing these with you in the next few days. For now, I’m going to try to get caught up on my emails and all of the other great adoption blogs that’ve been so active while we’ve been away.

Welcome home! I know it was wonderful to be sleeping in your own bed. And I know you're missing Liam (such a great name!) very much.
Please, please share your travel list! I have started working on a packing list, but any tips you can give will be so very much appreciated!
Welcome home! So glad to hear you made it back and had a good night's sleep. I did a little pre-trip shopping yesterday and picked up a few items (very few). I'd love to see your list - thanks for sharing it with us!
I, too, love Liam's name. Congratulations on your son!
Welcome back home DeDe and Robert. I'm glad you are home because that means now your Agency can start working on your Court date. Hopefully it will get here fast. I know you are resting right now so if you do still want to meet Sasha and us for lunch tomorrow (Monday)call me at work before 10:30.
Love ya both,
Brad, Marsha, Sasha and Dimitry
Dede - welcome back! Yes Texas is getting cold - here in San Antonio it has dropped 20 degrees in the last hour. Happy that everything went well on your trip - know how anxious you must be to bring Liam home!
