Here in Kras

Well, we arrived in Krasnoyarsk safe and sound. Our physicals went well, and really just a formality. We arrived here tired, but glad to have that step behind us. We are being told that our taxes need to be apostilled, so, some friends back home are helping us out greatly to accomplish this step in a timely manner. We were a bit frustrated, but after some rest and reflection we feel better about things. Our coordinator is working on translation of our taxes, and we will tell the judge Tuesday that the official copies are coming. We hope she will not put us off for a week which would extend our stay. Please pray! People are telling us that the judges are difficult some times, but to be prepared and confident. Our sinuses are giving us some trouble again due to the dry weather in the rooms. We both woke with sinus headaches this morning, just like we did in Moscow. Hopefully we will improve soon. The weather is nice, around 25 - 30 degrees. Nice and sunny out yesterday and today. We need to take advantage of it, because the weather could turn anytime.

We will be meeting our coordinator tomorrow morning (Monday) at 7 am to go meet with the girls for the first time in 2 1/2 months. We wonder if they will recognize us, and if D is walking yet. Met a new mother this morning who just got her daughter yesterday and she is 1 and walking. Met another mother who just picked up her daughter who is S's age. Court will be at 1:30 Tuesday, so we appreciate your prayers. Remember we are 13 hours ahead of Chicago. Blessings from Kras.
