It's so great to hear from all of you reading the blog. Like I said I would be blogging often so here os the stuff that went on today-try not to fall asleep while readind this(lol).
We got to the airport in Moscow at 4:15pm our time , checked in and began what would turn out to be the longest wait in an airport know to man. Our flight was sheduled to begin boarding at 6:30pm for the 7:10pm flight. They told us at 8:00pm that our plane was delayed, (duh) and that we would begin to board at 8:40pm instead. At 9:00pm we actually started to board, to only find out an hour after us sitting on the runway that we were having technical difficulties and would have to DEBOARD the plane and wait for another one to come take it's place.We sat in the airport until 2:30 am before we reboarded a new plane. Yes it was a new plane not the old one "fixed". I know because that was my #1 priority to find out.
We finally arrived in Vlad 9 hours later, and add 7 more hours for the time differnce, so we got in Vlad on Wed 26, 6:00pm. If you were not able to keep up that means we had 6 hours of sleep sine we left our house in Tuscaloosa at 8:00am Sunday morning. We are very tired and hungry so I'm going to blog mor tommorrow after we get back from seeing Noah.
info: We were told by our children's hope rep that we have the best Judge in town!!!
Please let us know if you have any guestions and\or suggestions at aby time. We love you all and will blog photos soon.

Your "layover" at SVO was similar to ours, except that we didn't stay overnight in a hotel. We literally went from the international terminal to the domestic terminal and waited close to 8 hours to leave. So I feel your pain on that wait and the flight that follows it. We had gotten maybe 5 hours of sleep in 36 hours. It was crazy.
Glad y'all made it, though.
So what's this about the CIS paper? Did you have an extension that didn't come before you left?
Can you ask Lana & Irina the name of your judge? Ours was named Natalia, and if it's the same lady, she is definitely a good one to have.
Enjoy your last couple days of it just being the 2 of you! It gets crazy after court!! ;) lol
Good to hear from you guys. Try to remember what Noah's first reactions to seeing you guys again were. We'd like to know how he is and if he remembers some of the English that ya'll taught him...teach him "ya'll" while you're at it. I'll let you know when Karen receives your paperwork if I hear anything.
Thank GOD yall finally made it to Vladivostok!!!!!! We are so sorry you and Josh had to go through all of the waiting. It couldn't have been easy at all. I think the aoption agency sets this scene up too see if the parents are still married and not divorced after having to wait (together) for that many hours before they give them the child.Ha! Ha!
This is called I think a test maybe? or torture!!!!!!!!! Anyway, yall made it. YEY!!!! We love yall and can't wait to hear after seeing Noah.
We Love Yall,
Mama and Daddy
Oh yeah, the FedEx man had your letter in hand yesterday by 2 p.m. I am assuming that Karen will have it at any moment now. Quit worrying. Love Ya'll.
YIPPEEEEEE!!! Yall made it...FINALLY! I know yall are so glad to finally be there. (within a few miles of Noah) Can't wait to see some pics. Tell him we love him and give him a BIG hug and kiss from all of us. Hope yall can get some rest before you get Noah because after you have him....rest will not be in your vocabulary!haha But you will love every minute of it. Take care and blog at ya later... Amy
WOO HOO FOR YOU!
We are so glad to hear from y'all but we hate you had to endure the night of waiting in an airport...quality time together for the two of you huh? HA! HA!
I wish we could see a pic of the look on Noah's face when the two of you walk back in to see and be with him...priceless!
I am patiently waiting (along with everyone else) for the family photos. Say Cheese! I hope you can get some rest soon, you will need to be fully alert for the little man because he will probably be sitting on ready to play and have all of your attention. What a joy! Give him hugs & kisses for us.
Hang in there "sleepyheads" :) :)Just joking around with ya.
We miss y'all and love ya bunches. It's going to be tough waiting to see y'all for so long.
Love and Prayers,
Nikki & Patrick Revell
