Last Day in Moscow

The last day and our last visit with Annabelle this trip went great. She is warming up to us and has been smiling a lot. We really wish we had some other place to play with her, but we made it through five days on the sofa. It would have been nice to put a blanket on the floor and sit and play, to see how she crawls and moves on her own. It was hard to judge this on a sofa where the furthest distance of travel was three feet.

We now start the long 6-8 week wait. We hope to hear about a court date in 3-4 weeks so we can start making the plans to get back here. We do have plenty of work to do at home with Tyler and preparing Annabelle’s room. Hopefully, the weeks will go fast.

Here are a couple of pictures from the outside of the baby home. The play area is a little old looking and muddy. I just hope it dries out enough for the kids to use.

We will try and post a follow-up with some current tips for travelers as well as ideas for surviving the first trip. As we learn more about our next trip we will start posting the dates and plans for our return.

Thanks for your support this trip and stay tuned for some good pictures on Annabelle in just a couple of months.
