Well... we are off (in a few hours) on our return trip to Russia to go to court and bring Roman and Max home! So much to do ... get packed..go through the house and do a last check ... and BREATHE!!! It's rainy in New York so we are hoping that won't delay our flight or at least not by much!!! The plane is scheduled to take off at 5:35pm and then 8 1/2 hours later we are landing in Moscow at 10:20am on Sunday, October 25th!!!
We are both fighting colds .... cold medicine is packed but excited that we are going back to Russia! What a journey it has been! We go to court on Friday, October 30th and the the boys are officially ours!!!
Everything is set here ... house/dog sitters = check (thanks to Stephen's parents, my Mom, Mark and Susan) Lucy and Happy will be in good hands! Limo is scheduled to pick us up on November 14th .. how else do you get 3 parents and 1 sister to JFK and then all 8 of us back home easily and without stress :-)!!! You wouldn't believe the things you need to prepare for when you are NOT home for 3 weeks ... pay bills ahead of time, schedule payments ... pick up mail (thanks neighbor lady and neighbor man)and just everyday things you do and don't think of!
But the day we've been waiting, praying and hoping for has finally arrived and we will be coming home as parents ... strap in ... follow us and keep checking the blog as we head to Russia and back to New York!!!
Thanks to all our friends for love and support and all the advice we've gotten from other Russia families! WE ARE READY!!!!

Safe travels. I hope you brought along plenty of cold medicine, just in case. Can't wait to see the first family photos! Keep us posted.

P.S. It was pouring when we left too but the plane was on time. When we left for the first trip, beautiful sunny weather and we took off almost 2 hours late!
So excited for you. We will be thinking of you. Can't wait to meet Maxim and Roman. They are going to have the best parents!

Hi Christine and Stephen,
I hope your fleight went well and you are there safe and sound.
There is one blank address for the letters I am to mail on Oct 27th. The addresses I do have are Miklas Nadeau, Dylan Lane, and Brooke Nadea. The last envelope has NO name. If you can give me the name and address, I will mail it.
Be safe. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Kathleen
