Moscow - Trip 2 - Day 19
Wednesday, February 6, 2008
There wasn’t too much on today’s agenda, paperwork wise, and Liam seemed a bit restless this morning so we started our morning with a stroll down Novy Arbat to check out the MotherCare children’s store that we hadn’t been to yet. They had some really cute things in there but they were a bit on the pricey side. We did end up buying a couple of cool bibs with pockets and a new sippy cup that doesn’t leak.
When we went outside from the store it had started snowing and was coming down pretty hard so we figured we better start heading back to the apartment with Liam. We had him bundled up in his snowsuit so he was pretty warm and wasn’t really happy about going back. He loves the outdoors! The snowsuit is a pain to put on but I think all the kids look so cute in them with just their little faces showing. Here’s a picture of Liam on the way over (before the snow started) waving with his mittens on (see how happy he is outside):
After lunch Tonya & Alusha picked Rob up and headed for the U.S. Embassy to file Liam’s Visa application paperwork and schedule an interview appointment for all of us tomorrow. We’re also hoping that there’ll be nicer weather tomorrow so we can do a family photo at Red Square.
We got out the first suitcase tonight to start packing a few things. It feels good to finally be preparing to go home. We still have a couple of days left in Moscow but since we have little free time these days, we figured we’d better go ahead and get started with the packing.
I’ll leave you with a picture of Liam in today’s outfit. He could barely be bothered to stop playing long enough to pose. ;-)

Wasn't the snow beautiful today! Liam continues to steal my heart with that great smile of his. Too cute!
He is just SO cute! And he looks happy too. I'm guessing they don't get much time outside at all when they're living in the orphanage, especially in the winter. I'm looking forward to taking our little one out to play, especially with spring in the South being just around the corner!
I know it feels good to start packing. You guys have been in Moscow for a long time now!
He looks like such a "little man" in today's photo. I guess it's the cool duds. :-) I was struck by something you said ("a family photo at Red Square"), and was thinking that just a few years back such a thing had possibly never entered your mind, and look at where you are now. Isn't it wonderful?!

What a cutie! (I think I keep saying this, but it's really true!)
Anyway, my Iliya LOVES the outdoors, too. If he never had to go inside, he would be a happy camper!
He is so adorable! I LOVE that pic of his outside. You better watch it, he will have you guys wrapped around his little finger so tight there will be no chance of getting free ;) It is awesome to see the pics.
How adorable!!!!! Can't wait to see you guys. I picked yal up something. I just had to get it for yal! Brad and I will come by sometime when yal get back and want some company. Take care!
He is one precious little guy. That smile is amazing and he looks so very happy! I know it must be a great feeling to know you will be home soon. Are you going to kiss the ground when you get back to Texas? It was cold here this morning 27 degrees but it is supposed to be sunny and warm (60s) for the next 7 days.
Love you!
Love the outfit!
