And so the journey begins again...

We got it all packed, not sure we have everything we need, but we can always go shopping!! We have all but the kitchen sink. It was snowing at home this morning and snowed off and on all day. After a combined effort on packing for 3 1/2 hours we decided to head out when we got it all together and get to Casper. The roads coming down were good, a bit slick in some spots but not bad. However, Casper is snowing and has snow on the roads pretty good in most places. It was wet when we first got to town which means it will be real slick in the morning. We are certainly glad to be here. Nothin is getting between us and that airplane in the morning. :-) When we came past the airport I pointed it out to Brayden and said that was where we were going in the morning to get on the plane. He said "I think I can handle that mama". :-) Our little man is soooo excited to go tomorrow. Roger is down at the pool trying to wear him out a bit so he will sleep good tonight! We will sleep better here than at home, nothing I can do now, its all done for better or worse. I am finally excited and quite ready to go!! I was beginning to get worried that the excitement was permanently escaping me, but here it is and I am almost shakey with it!! We will post tomorrow maybe at the Denver airport, if not, the next post will be when we have arrived in St Pete. You may have noticed the new clock on the side, my entire fam will be in New Zealand while we are in Russia. We have to know when they are awake and when they are sleeping!! Perhaps some others will find it useful too. :-) Thanks for following along, remember that we LIVE for comments on the other side of the world. It means the world to us to read your thoughts, please leave us something to read. We hope to have good internet access, will see how that works out. Until next time...we love you all!

I've been waiting for this post! What a wonderful way to spend the holiday!! Besides being a bit jealous of the trip to Russia (the home of my ancestors), I'm very excited for you as you grow your family! I'll be wishing the very best of everything for you all!

Wishing you safe and uneventful travels. We anxiously await future posts as this experience unfolds. Thanks for sharing it with us. Bill & Chris & family

We've thought about you on the long flight. Hope it all went well. I can see Brayden in his jammies on the airplane for the night :) We're anxiously awaiting the next post... It's cold at home so maybe if Siberia is a bit nippy you'll feel right at home!
