Arrived in St. Petersbug

Hello all,
We have arrived safe and sound in St. Petersburg. We are stuggling to stay awake until a reasonable hour to go to bed local time. We have to go to the Minister of Education for Leningrad region tomorrow morning to get permission to visit the boys again. Then we will visit the orphanage in the afternoon. We are so glad they are now in the same orphanage as this will probably be the first time that have met each other. We will video tape as much as we can( and not let Devon erase it this time). Hope all is well in the states. We are able to get to our email without a problem so feel free. A big thanks to our pal CJ for loaning us this mini dell laptop. It fit in my purse and was a breeze through security and linked right onto the free wifi in the hotel lobby. We will update again (hopefully with new pictures) tomorrow after our visit. Happy holy week to all and never forget the sacrifice that Jesus made for us. All our love, J&J

  3. Glad you arrived safe & sound. Hope you both were able to get some z's. By the time you read this you will probably be getting ready to visit the boys be sure to give them plenty of hugs and kisses from Mom-mom & Pop-pop. We will be anxiously waiting to hear how things went. Enjoy every minute with them.
    The girls are doing great they were even ready for school 10 min. early. Syd is sooo excited about her cell. Windy & cold here today, full moon tonight.

  4. Hey guys...thought about you both so much several times today. I know you are excited to see the boys again, especially together!
    We can't wait to see new photos and know that this marks the 1/2 way point in the visitation...only 1 more trip after this one and then they are HOME! Yahoo! It's going to be a chore keeping everyone away. It's going to kill me to give them time and not overwhelm them...sort of like Christmas Morning. You know, waking up too early and your parents won't let you go down yet! HaHa!
    Things here are fine..let us know what we can do for you beside praying...which we are doing already!
    Love you ALL!
