Hi Everyone! We just landed in Moscow about 2 hours ago. The flight was long, about 10 hours, but it was good. Before we could get off the plane, everyone had to have their temperature taken, which was pretty hilarious! Apparently, here in Russia they are freakin' out about the swine flu. So, this Russian lady came around to every passenger on the plane and took our temperatures. No one could get off until everyone's temperature had been taken. We are staying at the Sheraton here in Downtown Moscow. The sandwiches here only cost about $25.oo. So, we opted to go to the Sbarro down the street for a slightly cheaper pizza. Tomorrow, we both have doctor appointments, or basically physicals performed by russian doctors. Then we will leave Moscow on Saturday evening for Kemerovo. It is about a 4 1/2 hour plane ride to this region where Drew's orphanage is. Our court date is for May 26th, which is Tuesday. Thanks for all of your prayers, they have really helped us so far. Especially after I freaked out a couple of times on the plane ride! Pray that they could possibly waive the 10 day waiting period after court. Pray that Timothy and I don't kill each other. Thanks for all of the followers so far! We will keep you updated as much as possible!
Love you guys,
Tim and Laura
