On your mark get set go

     Here is the update you have all been waiting for.  This week for me was like running a race a couple times.  I had to hurry and sign papers, get them noterized then apostilied, then scan and email them to WHFC not once but had to do this twice this week.  Well I finally got confirmed travel information on Friday the 17th. 

     So here are my travel plans, I leave Logan at 4;30 pm on Saturday April 25th, arrive in Frankfort Germany at 5:20 am and leave Frankfort at 7:30 pm and land in Ekat Russia at 4:30 am Monday April 27th.  Yes what a travel agenda.  I am actually on planes for 7 hours then it is 4 hours to Russia.  It is all the time differences and yes you read it right the 14 hour layover in Germany.  So when in Germany I might get a hotel room at the airport sleep for a couple hours and then if possible maybe do some sightseeing??  I will have to talk to the travel agency about my time in Germany I do not want to get stuck there.

     So fast forward to Monday morning 4/27/09 I land in Russia 4:30 am, get a ride to my hotel and get picked up at about 9:00 to go get my referral and see a picture of the newest addition of our family.  We still do not know if it is a girl or a boy and I am in big trouble because Mattie is now convinced he is getting a brother AND sister so we will see how this goes.  After I get the referral it is off to the baby house to hear all the information on the child then the 1st meeting so Monday will be one EXCITING day.

     Of course this week is my school vacation I guess my timing is not good but you have to go when Russia wants you so here I go.  So this week I will do school plans, MCAS alts and any other school stuff that needs to be done at the beginning of the week.  Thursday and Friday will be spent packing ( I think it will be cold there so now spring clothes), get things organized for Mattie and Landscaping and just having fun with Mattie maybe a visit to the zoo or to the circus if we can ft it in.     Beth

     So get ready to follow my next adventure and I am one week away from completing my family and meeting my little girl or boy.
