You grew in our imagination, in our hearts and in our minds

Our last night in our apt!

Well someone thought I was having too much fun and gave me the flu, or some sort of bug. Patrick thinks it was something I ate. I have been down and out the last three days running a temp of 101.6 at one point. I will spare you all the details. Let's just say it has been no fun at all. On the up side I would rather be sick now so I can give all my attention to Sean when we pick him up.

Olga came by to see us and brought us champagne and chocolates. She has been great and I look forward to seeing her tomorrow. We have not been able to get back to Red Square. We will try go back with Sean later next week. We did get to do a good amount of sightseeing and it made the time go by rather quickly.

Tonight is our last night in the apartment. We are looking forward to our trip to Bryansk tomorrow. We will take the 6 pm train and arrive at midnight. We will check in to the Chernigov for the next two nights. On Tuesday morning we will be on our way to finally get our son!

If all goes well we should be back to Moscow on Wednesday. We are looking forward to staying at the Courtyard Marriott. It will be nice for a change and looking forward to sleeping in a big bed. Next post will be of Sean and then I will try to update everyone as soon as I can.

Here is some misc pics.




This is the subway going down very long escalator to get on the train



It really is a long way down.




Patrick's favorite isle in the supermarket. It's all vodka!

Have a great trip to get Sean. It's almost time! I am so excited for you both. I hope you get better soon. You'll need all the energy you can get running after him. Can't wait for the photos!

We are so happy for both of you that you are just a few days away from picking up your little boy. We hope he brings as much joy to you as our little one brings to us.

Dave and I really enjoyed reading your blog and seeing your photos. It brought back wonderful memories of our trip 2 years ago this week. We stayed at the same apartment as you (it belongs to Olga's son and daughter in law) and the photos of Bryansk were wonderful too. We went to that Italian restaurant on every trip! In fact, our first celebration dinner as a family was right there.

Great photos! We love the subway escalator shots! Sorry we missed the Irish pub. We'll have to go back!

Congratulations again and best wishes for a wonderful new beginning.

Hoping you are feeling better! We are waiting on pins and needles. I"m sitting her crying just thinking about it! We missed all three of you at Ronan's party but can't wait for Sean's! Give him the biggest kiss from his two crazy cousins, one beautifully wacky aunt and the Dub! (Also slobbers from Pumpkin,Mavis, Spike, Misty and Libby!)

Now the wait is almost over...and you thought this day would never come. Enjoy every minute and when you hold Sean again you will never have to let go. I am so very happy for you that your dream has come true.

Love,
