Hello from Moscow.

Hello Everyone! We have been without internet access since we got to Moscow! (talk about roughing it) We hope everyone is well.

We made it to Moscow late Monday night. Mischa Grace did OK on the flight but getting to the airport was a little rough...she was not happy! Tuesday the doctor (Boris) from the Embassy came to the apartment in the morning to examine Mischa Grace. She got a great report and Boris asked us if we had a shotgun to keep the boys away! We spent the rest of the day just hanging at the apartment playing and feeding her again and again. She is a little piglet ....the caregivers said she wasn't a good eater but she has been eating a ton.

Yesterday we went to the US Embassy for our exit interview. Everything went well and there were 7 or 8 other adoptive families there. It was like a big party. So nice to see so many Americans and speak English. Five of the families are on our flight from Moscow to JFK. Bet you are all thinking, "Glad I'm not on that flight."

Today we walked to Holiday Inn for some good ole' American food and to get on the internet. Later we're just packing and getting ready to come home tomorrow. We can't wait to get home but it will also be sad to leave.

Mischa Grace is adapting well to all the changes in her life in such a short amount of time ...car rides, plane rides, new food, new toys, 2 different homes and two crazy parents who talk funny. She loves to play with her blocks, watch Baby Mozart and EAT. She's very ticklish and has had the hiccups many times the last few days from laughing so hard. Those eyes and lips are too die for ... such a cutie!

Again thank you for all the wonderful comments. You have no idea how nice it is to hear from everyone when we are this far away. Spasibo!
