Today was spent researching and planning for our first trip to Russia. We scanned our notarized documents to have them translated to Russian. We are considering a possible bump in the road...or should I say divine intervention. I read tonight a "tip" on an adopted parents' website about traveling to Russia. She warns that all documents must be signed in blue ink, not black or the documents will be rejected. So...we are re-notarizing our documents if it's necessary since we haven't gone to Russia yet. Praise God, we found this information now.
Our flight is through an agency called Golden Rule. They have a very good reputation with families who are pursuing international adoptions. We would like to arrive in Moscow on Sunday morning....The travel agent is personable and flexible. Kenny was really pleased with his communication with the agent thus far.
On the homefront, we had a busy day with Francesca & Dominic marching with McDevitt Band in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Harrisburg. Kenny and Vincent went to the parade and even got cotton candy along with lots of candy and gum. Angelo and I took Gramps (Rick O'Lear) with us to see Gabriella's County Chorus Concert this afternoon. It was great! We also ran Dominic to his friend's house where the two of them went to a Saturday performance of "Aladin" . We spent time developing a list of what we need to do for our kids before we leave as well as while we are gone. Dominic's driver's license is a bonus for all of us!
Angelo's asleep. Gabby and Vinnie are watching a Harry Potter movie. Francesca is doing homework. Kenny and I await Dom to return home, while we continue to prepare for our trip.
Tomorrow is Sunday....Spring is here.
