Hello from Moscow! We arrived safe and sound. We made it through customs without a hitch. It was easy to find our translator, Katia. Our driver, Anton, delivered us safely to our very cool, modern hotel. The weather is nice here. It's about 75 degrees.
Brack and I are off to find some food. We have a very busy day tomorrow. First to the agency's Moscow office, then to the Ministry of Education. We will receive the first info about our child then. In the afternoon we will go to the orphanage to meet him.
It's 2:36 Sunday afternoon here. Brack & I were going to play a dirty trick on one of you by giving you a call when we arrived. (This would have been about 3 in the morning there!)
I hope to post tomorrow, but may be jet lagged and very exhausted. Hope you are all doing well. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers.

I will continue to keep you and Brack in my prayers as you are traveling. I hope you both have a wonderful time. I am glad you are doing this blog. It will be interesting to see your adventure unfolding this way.
And by the way, if you had called me at 3:00 am on Sunday morning, you would have found me AWAKE!!! I just could not sleep last night!! HA HA HA!!
John Robert was a sweetheart as usual this morning at church. Kathy and I put on costumes and acted out the "baby in the basket" story for them in the garden room. John Robert LOVED it!!!
Have a great time, Brack and Jana!!!
GOD bless you,
