32 hours later....

From our front door to our hotel took 32 hours. It feels good to finally be here. Upon arrival we soon realized our timing was perfect. They had a bad snow storm a couple days before we came and the airport and roads were closed. Our judge had been in Moscow on business and had only been able to return shortly before us.

We are here with the same couple we were on our first trip along with two other single ladies adopting. All of our kids are in the same room and are in neighboring cribs. Irina is hoping we can all have court on the same day. We are scheduled to meet with the judge on Thursday at 9:30am. That is 4:30pm on Wednesday MST.

So far, so good. We are happy to be back in Russia and one step closer to making Eli an Onder!

p.s. Don't be jealous, but we do have an ocean view room. We are staying at the Hyundai Hotel until we get custody of Eli. It is closer to the orphanage and a tad nicer. (Plus no kitchen so I don't have to cook until then!)
