We are home!!
We are home and are so in love with our little guy!! It was so hard leaving him in Moscow, but I am hoping that we find out our court dates quickly. We are not expecting to get them until late January early February, but hey it is a light at the end of the tunnel for us.
 Thank you guys for all of your thoughts and prayers for us, Moscow is cold, and wet, and I was happy to be home in the states but can't wait to go back to see my little guy again. Amy

Congrats on your first trip! We also arrived home on Thanksgiving from our first trip after meeting our son. We just celebrated our 3rd Thanksgiving with him and are so blessed. I wish you a speedy return to Russia and all the joy we've experienced with our little guy.

Hi Amy!
Congrats on a great trip #1! I am patiently (or not so much) waiting for trip #2 these days as well!!! So the Amy's can wait together. I got home from trip #1 on 10/25 -- but the holidays are a tough one because they can mess up all the dates!! Hoping for a short wait for you! Amy
