And it really is. I can't believe we've been home for one week today! It's been a whirlwind - so much orienting, bonding, adjusting, visiting with relatives, catching up after a month away, and believe it or not, more paperwork! There's still much to do before we feel like we're caught up. But we're doing so well!!!
The flights home were fine - Dima enjoyed flying for the first time until the last 10 minutes or so - coming into Houston was pretty turbulent. But overall we did well and enjoyed our trip. We had to get the kids up at 2:30am on the morning that we left, but they were excited and ready to go. We landed in Houston at 2:30pm Texas time and were greeted by a few friends and family - a perfect welcome party complete with balloons and signs in Russian and English to welcome Dima and Dasha home. The party had to wait and wait for us to get out of immigration, and we very much appreciated their patience. We all headed straight for an ice cream shop - the perfect welcome spot for these particular kiddos. Dima and Dasha were a little shy but really enjoyed the people they met, the gifts, and making their first friends in America. They specifically remembered names of those at the airport after we left.
My parents have been here for a week and have been a great help with food prep, cleaning up after us, etc., while we spend time with the kids and take care of other things. And it's been wonderful for them to get to know their new grandparents. The other set of grandparents (Bob's side), has been able to talk to the kids on the phone and has sent boxes of clothes which the kids were thrilled to get!
By Sunday they were ready to get out and go to church, and we knew that so many of you would be there to greet them. They did great - shy and pretty overwhelmed by all the love, but they had a good time nonetheless. The first thing Dima said after he was able to escape to the car was, "I like your friends." So I think it was a success.
So during the past week we have gone to the pool almost every day, shopped a little, played games, gone to our first American birthday party (thanks for the invitation, Phoebe!), started on some English lessons, visited, canoed, introduced some chores, and played and played with cats and kittens. Dima and Dasha each have a kitten, and they LOVE them.
God is truly amazing - we see His work in our children and in our family. He has been faithful to bring us together and has brought us blessing after blessing already. We are humbled and in awe. At some point we would like to blog again, just to recap the miracles and victories we've experienced on this journey - but first we have to register children, get them on insurance, get them in school, go to see doctors and dentists...
Thank you for your faithfulness in praying for us, reading our long posts, and being friends and supporters of our family. We love you and thank God for you!
Blessings,
Karen, Bob, Dima, and Dasha

We're in Moscow!
We arrived Monday morning after riding the overnight train. Sunday went well - Dima had a good birthday. We had a Georgian feast with the 2 grandmothers, 2 friends, girlfriend, and Natasha. The kids' biological mother did not come but they spoke to her on the phone before leaving St. Petersburg.
The friends - 2 15yo boys that rode the train from the orphanage camp - brought a cake for Dima, such a thoughtful thing for 2 15yo boys to do. And he got gifts from the others. The grandmothers gave us ALL gifts, so much that we were very thankful to have just enough room in our luggage! We have all kinds of souvenirs from St. Petersburg, and even 2 family photo albums that include pictures of when the kids were young. These are priceless items that most adoptive families never get. The paternal grandmother and a great aunt came to the train station to see us off later that night, while the maternal grandmother went back to the hospital to be with their grandfather. The kids of course had mixed emotions leaving their friends and relatives behind, but they maintained their excitement about things to come.
They loved the train ride. Dima says he slept for about an hour - he was just too excited. He gets so excited about everything - not overly so, but he has such a boyish love of life, appreciates the small things, and isn't afraid to show it. We hope he never loses that. Dasha slept the most but also had a really good time.
When we got here Monday morning, we checked into the hotel and the doctor came to visit us for the mandatory examinations for the kids' visas. We were amazed that doctors still make house calls! Dr. Read, we'll be expecting the same treatment when we get back :-) The visits were quick and easy, and the worst we found out is that Dasha has cavities and needs to see the dentist. No big surprise there.
After long naps that we tricked the kids into, we went swimming in the hotel's indoor pool. The kids love to swim, so we'll be visiting there for the next 2 days, I'm sure. Today we have an appointment at the US embassy to order visas, then tomorrow we are free to do as we please while Buckner staff takes care of the rest. We plan to go to Red Square for a little while.
The natives get restless with our long blogs, and we are in the hotel lobby, so I think we will head upstairs to wait for our embassy appointments.
Over and over we are reminded of how wonderful our friends and family have been to us during this long process. We have really enjoyed blogging and reading your comments back to us! We'll plan on blogging at least one more time, either from here or after we get home.
The kids are looking forward to the flight but are a little nervous about it, so if you could pray for peace and safety, that would be great! We love you and can't wait to get home!!!

So we have the kids - now what do we do?
Just kidding - we're having a great time! We are sitting at McDonald's having pre-lunch fries and drinks in order to take advantage of the free internet. And we're finally on our own computer (which is easier because the Russian keyboard is different!) We are heading to lunch at a Georgian restaurant soon, to celebrate Dima's birthday with both of his grandmothers, 2 friends, a girlfriend (yes, you heard us right - YIKES!), and Natasha, with a probable brief visit from their biological mother. Their grandfather is in the hospital AGAIN, so we won't get to meet him. If you happen to be up reading this at 6am on Sunday, we'd love for you to pray for the birthday event!
Tonight we will head to Moscow on the overnight train. Should be fun. This time we'll actually have sleeping quarters on the train. Then Monday morning the kids will go to a doctor's appointment, a requirement to get their US visas. Visas should be ready by Wednesday, so we're flying home on THURSDAY!!!
When we were in Finland, our private sauna felt just like Houston, so when we were homesick, all we had to do was go in there. But here we don't have a sauna, and we are anxious to get home.
The last few days have been great - good bonding time with the kids while we took care of some business, too. We went to the zoo one day and toured Catherine's Palace on another. We've had to sleep with the windows open in our 7th floor apartment because there's no AC and it's been a little warm. So for the last 2 nights, we've had a visit from the most unique domestic cat we've ever met. The kids have appropriately named him "Crazy" (said with a thick Russian accent.) We'll try to post a picture. He just waltzed in through a window one night and decided to stay for an hour or so, then did the same the next night. We had no idea how he managed to get into a 7th floor apartment window (apparently from the roof) until we saw him in action last night. This cat is amazing! He must be a cross between something domestic and something wild. Check out his markings. And he can jump more than 5 feet straight up with no problem at all. Last night he jumped from the window to the top of an open door and just balanced there for awhile for fun. But he is also very sweet and the family very much enjoyed his midnight visits.
So we are coming in Thursday on British Airways at 2:35pm. We are all excited! Mom and Dad, we'll call you on your cell later in the week to give more details.
God bless you all - have a wonderful week! We'll be back in touch soon since we can access e-mail from our Moscow hotel.
Love,
Karen, Bob, Dima, and Dasha

We Are Parents!!!
It's official - we got our adoption certificates yesterday! We arrived back in St. Pete on Sunday night and checked into the apartment we will be renting this week. (It is actually owned by Buckner and is a transitional home for orphans after they leave the orphanages. It's a small program - only a few orphans are accepted - but it allows kids to live there and work and/or go to school while learning crucial skills needed to live independently. It's a great program, but Natasha says it's funded solely by donations and they're not sure how long they can keep it going. The transitional kids are gone from the apartment for the summer, so it is used to house interns [like summer missionaries] who come and go, and it is available for rent by people like us.)
Just the bare essentials there, but Antoine, one of the house parents, takes great care of us. We have the place to ourselves until the weekend when 3 interns will come back from Dasha's orphanage, where they are spending the week doing vacation bible school. We met the 3 on Monday - great girls - Jessica, Melissa, and Courtney? Turns out Melissa is an A&M grad and first year teacher, and Jessica is a Sam Houston education student! Crazy! We've never met her before - she goes home to Houston every weekend to teach Sunday School at her church. But we invited her to visit UHBC and Truth. It's a small world after all! The third intern is from Illinois, and they are all very sweet.
Today we will go back to the camps and pick up our kids for good!!! We will have a going away party at Dasha's, then head to Dima's to do the same. Lots of cake today! Since the kids are officially ours, the rest of our time here will be spent trying to get them out of Russia and into the US. We are currently waiting on the kids' passports, which should be ready Thursday, possibly Friday. We could head to Moscow as early as Sunday night (Sunday is also Dima's 13th birthday!), which is earlier than planned. If that happens, we may be able to get the visas in Moscow a little sooner than expected, and maybe even bring them home a couple days early! The soonest would be Thursday, July 23, or it may still be Saturday the 25th, depending on lots of factors (hotel, airline, embassy appointments, etc.)
So we are now at an internet cafe in St. Petersburg trying to navigate through language barriers with Russian-only speakers. And we are not able to use our own computer (again), so can't post pictures. BUT we are happy and healthy and grateful.
Thank you for all your prayers - God has really been showing us that prayer is a crucial part of our faith and relationship with Him. We don't know what adventures await us, but just like He showed the Israelites His miracles over and over in Egypt to prepare them for the wilderness, we know that He has shown us miracles too, to prepare us for whatever He has next.
We have just been informed (we think) that wireless is available close by, so maybe we'll get back soon with pictures and more updates!
Much love,
Karen and Bob

We Found Them!
Reindeer - lots and lots and lots of reindeer! Can't wait until we can post pictures. This morning a whole herd decided to graze through our complex just as we were coming out. We hung out with them for quite awhile - amazing animals.
Yesterday we hiked for 20 miles! That's way more than we've ever done before, and we feel it today! But it was possible for 2 reasons. First, even though we're in a ski resort area, the mountains in Finland are very small and the hiking is easy. Of course it helps to not have 30-40 pound packs on our backs - there's something to be said for day hiking! The second reason 20 miles was possible is because we never had to worry about it getting dark, so we knew we had all the time in the world. It doesn't get dark here even for a minute right now. Not that we've stayed up all night to check - we opted to ask someone instead. But we hiked very leisurely from 10am-10pm, stopping to warm up in cabins built for hikers and skiirs, complete with firewood and a cook stove!
The scenery is beautiful - very green, with rolling hills, lots of water, and much hiking on balds above treeline, where the views are great. We even saw a couple patches of snow!
We'll do shorter hikes today and tomorrow and continue to catch up on our reading. Then it's back to St. Petersburg on Saturday, arriving Sunday evening!
Hope you're having as much fun as we are!
Love,
Karen and Bob

Summertime in Lapland
It's evening in Finland's Lapland, here inside the Arctic Circle. This afternoon we sat by the fireplace in our homey condo (thanks, Mom and Dad!!!) warming the bones, watching the light drizzle and an occasional snow flake pass by our window. This is our kind of place!
This area is considered Santa's home, so we're on the lookout. Tonight we had reindeer pizza for dinner. No really, we did. More specifically, it was reindeer, salami, jalepenos, and "pickled cucumbers". All I can say is the salad was great!
We have had many travel adventures since our last post, but very limited internet access. Now we have access about a kilometer away from the apartment, so we'll be on every once in awhile. Sorry, Amy, can't blog every day!
Some highlights since we left St. Pete...
The train to Helsinki, Finland was great. It was a Russian train, and the Russians do trains very well. Good service and a nice lunch in the restaurant car. We spent a few hours in Helsinki before boarding our boat to Estonia Thursday evening. We thought we were getting on a ferry-type boat with maybe a couch where we could grab a few snoozes. But NO, this was a bonifide cruise ship - 10 stories high, supermarkets, restaurants, our own private cabin with private bath, and so much more, all for the 2-3 hour cruise over to Tallinn, Estonia. We docked in Tallinn and spent the night on the boat, then the next day in Old Town.
We are talking really OLD here! The town was settled in 1164. We saw fortress walls and towers and parts of buildings that were built in the 1200's. Tallinn is an amazing place - so much fun! The history is really interesting, too. The Estonians were defeated by the Danes in the 1200's, then the Germans came, then the Russians, and they were part of the Soviet Union until their Singing Revolution in the late 1980's. There are still song festivals every year, partially celebrating their freedom and commemorating the fact that they won their independence (twice, actually) by singing. We happened to be there at the same time as the annual song festival, but we were in a different part of town.
We were amused by the fact that we had to pay to go to the bathroom (actually not uncommon here, either) but then got to enjoy a private sink in every little stall. It was also interesting converting Estonian kroons to dollars then to euros so we could pay for things. We're still not very good with euros, either, since we just finished with rubles in Russia.
After a day in Estonia, we boarded another ship and started on a 22 hour travel marathon which brought us here. A couple hours on the ship to Helsinki, a few minutes on a bus to the train station, 13 hours on an overnight train to Roveneimi (Santa's official home town), then about 5 more hours into the arctic circle to Sääriselka on another bus. We made friends with Elimili and Katrin on the bus, Finnish college students with good English who helped us figure out what was going on and how to get where we needed to go. We taught them how to play Spades. Of course the girls won. Please pray for Elimili and Katrin - they need the hope that we have.
After checking into our condo in Sääriselka, we went grocery shopping. THAT was interesting. All of the food labels are translated...from Finnish into Estonian and Swedish. Not helpful. But in spite of sleep deprivation and language barrier, we made it out with food. Went back to the condo and I got to try out our own private sauna after dinner! Then today we did laundry - another hilarious process trying to use a tiny German-made washing machine with a ferris-wheel style tub and instructions in who-knows-what language. I THINK our clothes are clean. Then there is the drying closet...
Tomorrow the high will be in the high 30's or low 40's again, and Bob is hoping for snow! We'll do some good long hikes probably starting on Tuesday when it warms up to about 55-60. We seriously hope to see a reindeer. We are looking forward to relaxing this week, spending some quality time with each other and communing with our Creator, and reading up on parenting!
You are such a good praying group - please continue to pray for the kids during this appeals period - that they will be patient, at peace and prepared for what is coming. And pray that we will have everything in place to take care of visas, and that nothing unexpected, specifically appeals, will happen before our adoption decrees on July 13.
And have a wonderful week!

Today we Hydroplaned!
The morning started off with breakfast at a coffeehouse on Vasilevskiy Street. The kids and Karen had pancakes and ice cream and I had a croissant with an Americano, so we all started off happy. Sasha picked us up for our planned day at the Peterhof Palace. We bought tickets for the hydrofoil which is by far the most exciting and scenic way to reach the imperial summer palace. The trip took 45- min. across the Bay of Finland and the kids' eyes were as big as half dollars as we hovered across the ocean to reach our destination. Once we arrived we toured the gardens and parks for several hours. The kids played in the water fountains - there are almost 70 fountains in all - as we took in all the amazing sites. From there we took the kids back to summer camp where we all will wait out the mandatory ten day appeal process. As we pulled up to Dima's camp his friends were eagerly awaiting his arrival. Unexpectedly and surprisingly to me, Dima gave both Karen and I a big hug in front of his friends. Dasha's departure was equally as rewarding with a big smile and hug.
So we're off to Finland by train at 6am and have to get some sleep! Hope the rest of you have a great day while we're off in dreamland.
Love,
Bob
