FEBRUARY 2009 (CON'T)

Well, the past few days have been non-stop. We still cannot believe that we are leaving tomorrow morning!!! We have a mix of feelings, between being excited and being nervous at the same time. Everything is packed!!! We cannot fit anything else inside our luggage. We have had to fit all our stuff, the baby's stuff, and some gifts for the baby house in 2, 50lb pieces of luggage and 2 carry-ons. I know it sounds like a lot of luggage, but when you put everything together, the clothing, the winter wear and other things. They take a lot of space. And if you know how We are also taking our laptop, video camera, and photo camera so we can take pictures of Antonina. We leave at 6:00 from Miami to Chicago, then we have to wait for 8 hours before we can get on our plane to Moscow. The good thing is that we will get a chance to spend time with my baby sister Claudia, her boyfriend Donnie and their dog Buddy. We can't wait to see them!!!

I will try to post more tomorrow. I think that there is free internet at the Chicago airport. I will try to post more then. Please continue to pray for us. Until then...
