Thumbs up It's Gotcha Day !!!!!!!

We are happy to report that Nicholas has now joined us at the hotel in Moscow. He is a happy energetic little guy and has taken to both my wife and I very quickly.

We have been here about 16 days and were able to see him everyday at the orphanage waiting for the decree to be final.

Another 10 days and we will be on the way home. We are bumping up against the May Day holiday in waiting for the rest of the paperwork to be finalized.

To all of you who are still out there waiting we say keep the faith because there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
