Photos, photos & more photos...


This is a photo of the suitcase that has all the donations for the orphanage. Medicines, lotions, shampoo, teething rings, socks, t-shirts, bibs, outfits, a couple of toys. We are going to carry this one on the plane with us and our toiletries and clothes for our meeting with the Ministry of Education on Monday. So, if nothing else makes it there, at least we will look nice and the orphanage will have some nice things.

This is the guest room...or packing central. Piles and pile of clothes, toiletries, gifts and stuff. Hopefully everything will fit into the suitcase. We want to only take one that we will check in addition to the carry-on. Then, Andrew will take a backpack with the camera and the DVD player. And I will have my big Vera Bradley purse.

The elephant on the right is a big squishy pillow that I bought for Roman. It fits perfectly on the back of the rocking chair or the side of the crib. It is so soft and cuddly, I couldn't resist. It was made by a company called Jelly Cat (http://www.justjellycat.co.uk). There stuff is so cute. A little pricey, but so nice.

This is Roman's room. We are keeping the twin bed in there in case one of us needs to sleep in there with him some nights. The quilt is new. We don't have the crib set yet, but hopefully soon. It all looks so great together.

Can you tell I'm excited...geeesh!! Don't forget to leave your comments for us :)

So this is what non-practice packing looks like.

Are you going to have access to post anything from Russia or have a guest blogger like Lauri does? I'm going to be so anxious to hear how your trip is going!
