I can't even begin to describe the beauty of the morning. We woke early and loaded everything in the car and headed out for the airport. The ride there was nothing short of amazing. There were dark grey storm clouds in the distance, with the brilliant morning fall sun setting all the trees on fire around us. What an amazing picture that made, blazened on my mind. It was so beautiful! What a gift to start us out on our journey with!
We stopped at the fire station in Whitehall where Tim works. One of his fellow employees was going to give us a ride to the airport, just 5 minutes up the road. We met a man there with his son who had been adopted from the same baby home our son is from a few years earlier. He let us borrow a few phrase books and sent some pictures with us for Yelena, the coordinator in Krasnoyarsk. It was very interesting to be able to talk to him about what he had experienced at the same place 3 or 4 years ago. His son was fascinated with the equipment, so Tim showed him around. He just turned 8. They live in Columbus now, we met them through the International Ohio Adoption yahoo chat group.
Well, we are sitting here in the airport- with about an hour before we board the plane. Whooo hoooo- we have Internet here and power- so, we're trying to see if we can get all our addresses and such sorted out before we go to make posting easier and quicker while in Russia. We
made it through the first check just fine- had breakfast, sipped some Latte, read some mail- I guess we didn't really need to be here so early after all.......But, hey, it's the first chance we've had to just sit and relax for the last 10 days since we found out about our son. So, hopefully this works, and we'll be able to keep in touch with everyone while we are halfway around the world. Until next blog.......
