My brother sent us a new taperecorder with extra batteries and tapes so we could listen to music while traveling, my how the technology has changed in a few short years!<br /><br />I still don't quite know how the local agency workers managed to fit all our luggage into the trunk of the car they used to drive us to where we were staying.<br /><br />We had one absolutely HUGE suitcase, which our daughter ended up sleeping in the first night we had her because there was no crib in the apartment where we were staying.<br /><br />Here's a funny story that you won't be dealing with this time round: Neither my husband or I had experience with diapers. Needless to say, we had several "challenges" early on. Then we got to Moscow for the Dr.'s appointment to allow the babies into the U.S. The Dr. (who was Russian but spoke perfect English), undressed the babies, then turned to us with a perplexed look on his face. "Did you mean to put their diapers on backwards?" he asked politely.<br /><br />Oh, how we are praying and waiting here in Virginia!<br /><br />Love, Peggy & familyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
