We are going to Russia!

Tickets are booked, hotel rooms booked, apartment booked and our entry date on our Visa's has been change for a small fee of $600. Serves me right for bragging in an early post that we saved money on our visa's. At this point who cares because we are going to Russia to get Mischa Grace!

Our schedule:
Feb. 7 - Fly to Moscow
Feb. 8 - Arrive in Moscow
Feb. 9 - Medicals - Fly to Volograd
Feb. 10 - Visit Mischa Grace - (11.5 weeks since we left her)
Feb. 11 - Visit Mischa Grace and prepare for court
February 12 - COURT - (Gotcha Day/Family Day)
Feb. 13 - Feb. 26th - Stay in Volgograd & visit her as often as possible
Feb. 26 - Fly to Moscow
March 5 - Fly Home to the US
If the judge waives the 10 day wait we could be home as soon as Feb. 20th but for now we are planning for March 5th. We are a little frantic getting ready as we thought we had this weekend to prepare but we will get everything done and on Saturday we will be on that plane.
One thing we did was pretty much finish her rooom for now, except for some window treatments, so of course I have to post more one picture. Her closets are full of toys and clothes thanks to everyone's generosity ... she is going to have so much fun.

Also I have to say Happy Birthday to our other G, Granite .... she turned 4 yesterday. And Happy Birthday to Mena today!
