Been home with Ricky since 10/16! (long)
Sorry it has taken so long to update everyone! I'm not even sure where to start.
Our court daye was 10/20 and all went well. They even waived our 10 days but when we went to pick Ricky up he had been hospitalized with obstructive bronchitis. They said he probably wouldn't make it through the flight to Moscow. Scared the poop out of us! They kept him in the hospital for 5 days and we got to see him twice. That helped but the rest of those 5 days were awful! The worrying ate at us and there wasn't much to do to try and occupy our minds. We didn't want to venture too far away from our phone in case something happened so... we read until we ran out of English reading material. So after that the trip was pretty uneventful, thank God. Moscow was wonderful! We hired a fantastic tour guide. It was like having our own babuska on hand! If anyone's interested in finding out more about her PM me and I'll give her info. We got home on the 16th and we've all been sick since.  Ricky had a little chest cold but it didn't evolve into bronchitis, whew!Ricky is the happiest little boy! He's now 14 months and is the light of our lives. DH and I couldn't be more blessed!  His aunts, uncles and grandparents are already wrapped around his little fingers. All he has to do is grin! So if I can figure out how to post pictures I'll try to show you that grin. Well that was a bust! I keep getting an error message. Can anyone help me out? Thank you for all your past support!!

How quickly time slips by once you are home, yes?!
Congratulations! You could have stood a little less drama - the process is stressful enough! But I am so glad you had time for a "honeymoon" in Moscow!! Now, it will all just be a part of a very treasured story of how your family came to be! Welcome home family!!
