The time has come

It's late Friday night and tomorrow is the day!  We ran around today getting last minute stuff for Lexi like toys and food.  Then stayed up late playing cards with Heidi and Pam since it was our last free night :) We go tomorrow at "9 and 10 minutes" as our coordinator says. It's supposed to be warm tomorrow so hopefully they won't fuss about the clothes I want to put on her.  The orphanage workers are really into layers.  We will be inside in a hot room and Lexi will have on a onsies, then sweater, then jumper dress with thick tights.  If we go outside its even worse.  I can't imagine what they do when it actually gets cold here.   We've seen some of the other kids outside in full blown snowsuits with hat and hood on.  It's like 45 degrees out.  Crazy.  Anyway, they frown at us about a lot of things so I'm sure they will not like what I've picked out for her to wear. But she's mine now, so what can they say!  ha, ha!

This is so exciting. I'm praying that the transition goes well. I can't wait until you get back to Moscow so I can see more pictures. Praise the Lord that everything has gone so well.
