Getting Ready For Moscow

I have not been computer savy as of late, but am going to try the "blog" thing. Am I literate at this yet? NO. Do I have time to learn it? NO. We are heading to Moscow in less than 48 hours. However, I'm trying this out in hopes of having many joyous things to come in a matter of weeks. Last Tuesday, we got news to get our plans to go to Moscow for next Thursday. After a few days of mass chaos, we think we finagled it all: flights, visa invitations, visas/passports back in one piece, hotel arrangements, etc. We have a referral for who we will name Zachary. He will 1 year old in May. We are just hoping that we have a great appointment, and cannot wait to go meet our soon to be son. I spent all weekend obsessing about every step for the trip - shopping getting toys to take him each day that we plan to visit him at the orphanage, getting outfits to hopefully make good impressions to all the important people, drafting questions to ask about health history, making checklists of things to take, getting crisp money without folds/marks/etc., making a binder of all the important documents, and the list goes on. It will be my birthday on Saturday. I am hoping that this will go down in the books of my life as the most memorable birthday ever! The coundown is on...
