Adoption Information Adoption and Russian links including weather. Pictures of Sophie and Ethan. Information about our first itinerary. DETAILED STORY OF OUR SECOND TRIP! Older Information Updated 12/05/02: Well, things are getting "exciting". We can hardly wait to see the babies!! There are still several things to get done before we leave on the 12th! At least packing should be a little easier as long as we remember everything for the babies. :) Below is the flight number we arrive back in St Louis on: American #1829, arriving at 7:57pm on December 18th. Updated 11/18/02: We are leaving the morning of December 12th for Moscow. We will arrive December 13th around noon. We'll be staying in Moscow Friday and Saturday night. Hopefully there will be time to do a little more sight seeing, and of course, shopping. Then we take an over-night train to Nizhny Sunday night that arrives Monday morning just in time for court. (Around 9:00AM) That should only take an hour or two. Once we are approved through the court, and receive the paper work, we get to pick up the kids!! We will probably pickup Ethan first, since he is an hour drive outside of town. Then, we'll get to pickup Sophie later in the afternoon, on our way back to the hotel. Monday night the kids and us will take an over-night train back to Moscow that arrives Tuesday morning so we can be at the US Embassy by 8AM. Then the final step is getting medical exams and travel Visas for Sophie and Ethan. If all goes well we should leave for home Wednesday the 18th. We have a plane change at JFK airport in New York. Then we will be on an American Airlines flight, which arrives in St Louis around 8pm Wednesday evening. We will post the flight number before leaving. This page was last updated on December 16, 2003
