More Delays and a Second Honeymoon?

Hi All-

Many of you know we had a delay last week- UGH! Apparently dumb old DHL lost some of our documents in Russia! So, needless to say I am no longer a fan of this service!

Anyway, thankfully Aaron was able to run all around the town and with some help from Marta and Bob (who both have been absolutely great about re-doing documents 3 or 4 times each for us) we were able to pull it together in less than 24 hours. Then the agency was able to get them apostilled and off to Russia in another 48 hours- I think we all did pretty well considering! They are in Novo now and hopefully we will hear soon- maybe this week but more likely next I think- about a court date!!!! So, keep your fingers crossed and I still hope to get there in mid July now.

So, due to this and the fact that we have been lost in baby preparations, stress from waiting and general other stress due to work and the house and all we decided on the spur of the moment yesterday that what we needed was a break, a last minute "second honeymoon", the last trip we will ever take just the 2 of us, with no other responsibilities. So, we are off to Wausaukee Thursday - Tuesday for some sun, golf, relaxing, recharging and reconnecting. We are totally ready to go to Russia and ready for the babies to come home so even if we get court dates and need to leave next week we are all set- we can fly home, throw everything in a bag and leave again! And it would still be worth it! Cant wait to get to the cabin and enjoy the weekend together - our last as a couple with no kids. The next time we are at wausaukee it will be VERY different so this is fun and we are excited for this trip, though short.
