Most of you out there have already heard the stories about the layers upon layers of clothing these Russian children must endure during childhood. I noticed the weather will be in the high 70's on "Gothca Day". I didn't pack the snowsuit, but I do have a very fleecy outfit, heavy winter coat, stockings, socks, oh yeah, and a toboggan to take Alex away from the orphanage. Once in the confines of our apartment, I'm stripping that kiddo down for some Commando time.
I want to congratulate our new friends Michelle and Ian. There "Gotcha Day" was today. I haven't heard from Michelle in over 24 hours, so please, send up some prayers for her. I just hope their precious angel is settling in with her forever mommy.
Brack just informed me he is packed. I must go now to see about some last minute details and to weigh our obviously overweight luggage. One thing I did forget to mention is that the vehicles our drivers pick us up in are relatively small, meaning, it is no SUV, not even close! I will take a photo of this and post it, because this is rather amusing to see all our stuff crammed in the tiny trunk without an inch to spare.

Sounds like things are just wonderful - except for the weather thing! Brrrr. Can't wait to see and meet Alex. He is one lucky little boy. Sending up prayers for safe travels and some good rest.
