We have arrived in Biro

Well it is 12:47 on Sunday here as we type. For those who are keeping track, or even trying to figure out what time it is at home, it is 8:47PM on Saturday. The weather is a balmy -10C, and all is well.

This morning we had a chance to see Annika. She has grown so much since we last saw her. Suprisingly she is only wearing 6-12 month clothes. She has 4 teeth (2 top and 2 bottom). Unfortunately, we think that it will take her some time to get used to us again. I was able to soothe her, and she once again fell asleep in my arms again.

This afternoon, we are getting ready for the court date, and we will hopefully see her again after that meeting. Other than that, all is great.

About the trip here. Well, needless to say, it was LONG! We left our hotel in London at 7am Friday, and we arrived in Biro 4pm Saturday. Throw in a few timezones, and a few airlines and well, you get the picture.

We were extremely lucky though. On the flight from London, all the way to Khab, there was a few Canadians. Would you beleive, they looked to us for advice on how to get through the customs in Moscow. It was quite funny. They are here for helping the area in their environmental studies. We thought we had it hard. After landing in Khab, they had another 14 hour car ride to the small village in northern Siberia.

Well, we must run. Just think of us as you watch the Grey cup as we will be in court at that time. Thank you for your prayers for the first part of our trip, and we know that you are praying for the rest.

Once we get some more time, we will hopefully find a stable connection, and will Skype those who we can, and we will also publish any pictures that we can.

See yall soon!

Best of luck in court. I was sitting on my couch thinking that today is actually your tomorrow and had to check your website. You should be finished by the time you read this. I can't wait to hear "she is ours and we are coming home"!
