2 days and counting till Moscoa.





Hey yall. We are soooo excited that we are a couple of days away from Moscow. We are so ready to get in a diffrent environment. See new faces and buildings.We are going to visit Red Square once we get settled in at Moscow. We will either rent a car/driver for the afternoon or we will ask the Children's Hope office in Moscow if they have time to show us around. We've seen some great pics that somw of our friends here took at Red Square.

We are so ready to see everyone and be on American ground, taste american food and actually breathe clean air.This is known to be the most poluted city in Russia so that's just wonderful.(they wonder why the babies have bronchitis and cold all the time).

I will blog once more from Vlad tommorrow and then will we leave on Thursday(your Wednesday night).

Our flight will leave at 1:00pm our time and will be about 9-10 hours long, but will be gaining 7 hours because of traveling west. The time will be 9:00 pm when we land in Moscow and that will be your 1:00pm on Thursday so I guess I'm saying that we will leave at 1:00pm on thusrday and arrive at 1:00pm on thursday, ha ha . Pretty crazy hun! Please keep us in your prayers and we will be keeping all of you in ours. Love, Joah, Leslie and Noah


info: Josh is going to town today with our rep to finish Noah's passport and we will all be going to town tommorrow to get the court decree and taking Noah on the Dr. appt that is manditory befor we leave the region. Noah is taking a nap right now so that's why I actually got to type more than I have been. Hope you enjoy the photos .

I will also be blogging from Moscow while we are there for 5 days so you will not be left out any.

Get ready to get your internal clocks really messed up! Jet lag from Vlad to Moscow...you'll JUST get used to that time and then you'll experience jet lag from Moscow to home. Definitely an interesting experience with a toddler! Before, you could sleep off the jet lag, but now that you have a little one, you'll have to be awake when he's awake to keep him from getting into everything!

That was a difficult thing for me, anyway!

Will y'all be staying in the Holiday Inn Sokolniki in Moscow? If so, their breakfast is to DIE for, after being away from true western food for so long. And best of all, it's free for adoptive families!!! :)

Okay, enough rambling!

BTW, we know all about needing to stay away & spend time as a family, when you get home...so we aren't going to bug you. But whenever y'all get ready to get the boys together, just let us know. :)

Hi you guys. I LOVE the new photos. So cute. I hope your flight goes smoothly and you can rest in Moscow. Everything is great here no worries. Either Brad or Brent will try to get the yard cut before your arrival and we will wait on you guys (maybe) to call us about meeting little man. XOXO

Hello Housley Family!
I am missing y'all so much. It was so great to see that you had blogged again. We have been thinking about y'all constantly and praying for you all the while.
The pics of all of you are so good! Noah looks great in Crimson & White. ROLL TIDE! How has his English been coming along? We know it will take time-but mom wil have plenty of time to spend with him at home during the day while daddy is working huh? You & Josh will do great with him-the two of you look like u are naturals at parenting.
I can't wait to get together-try and get rested up for the time change. Noah is in for an interesting journey huh?
We miss ya lots & love ya bunches-
Nikki & Patrick Revell
