Especially since your girls are older and will understand (mostly) what is going on, it will be an adjustment for everyone to fit into your family puzzle.<br /><br />I also had to laugh when you mentioned cultural differences. I was reading something while we were on one of our trips to Russia and it mentioned that if you smiled at people while passing them in the street, they thought you were "special." I live in a place where you smile and wave even at strangers so after reading that, I realized just how "special" all the people in Russia must have thought I was as I smiled at them. Oh well! :-DMaureennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-63608958459774452872009-11-22T07:47:02.722-07:002009-11-22T07:47:02.722-07:00Thankfully you won't be having to flag down th...Thankfully you won't be having to flag down the fed ex truck with your visas in it!

Looking forward to hearing more esp about the days once you get there. <br />JoyceJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103468879639388287noreply@blogger.com
