I’ve gone from having culture shock a couple weeks ago, to having a reality check every hour now. Yesterday when my interpreter, said “call me if you need anything, good bye!” I think my mouth dropped, I mean I know this was the plan, but after all the worry, Craig’s paper work, money, blood, sweat and tears..Here I sit in an apartment in Russia, all my dreams came true!!
I taped a calendar to the wall in the kitchen, 14 days from today we take our 8 hour flight to Moscow! I’m counting down the days!
Here is what we are doing for Valentine’s Day, girl bonding time! She tried on my shoes before the sun came up this morning. She wore her Wisconsin girl bib for breakfast. She did some art work. She is a “store bought “baby food eating machine, I tried to take the spoon from her to slow her down, she was going to fight me for it. Why I’m feeding her baby food when she’s almost 2? That’s another story. Do you see my pictures of home behind us? We look at those every couple hours. Sorry I had to put the potty chair one in, she is just so little and she so well trained to sit there, it’s too cute.
Craig’s at the air port in Seoul now, it’s weird not having him here!

Congratulations on your baby girl and praise to God for answering all our prayers! I'm so loving these pictures and updates - it's almost like stepping through it day by day with you and Craig - it must be hard to be there without him, now. I wish I were there with you! Sending you both lots of hugs on Valentine's Day!

I love the potty chair picture! No wonder she is a eating machine if she is still on baby food. She will get used to her new life, kids adjust so much better than we adults do. I know you miss Craig but you are right, this is good girl bonding time. Have fun and enjoy it!
Your last post said Craig was in Seoul. Well, I just walked the dog down the street. I think Craig's home. Lights were on, garbage was out, dirty laundry all over the living room floor. Must be Craig.
Make the best of your time. You're not missing any warm weather.
