Its Official!!!!

We are now the proud legal parents of Karina Ann Martin. We will be gaining full custody May 12th and taking her home May 17th. The court day went very well thanks to the help of our translator and our new friends who had a court hearing yesterday. We are very happy and are looking forward to seeing our daughter tomorrow.

Hello From Moscow Day One

You maybe wondering why we have not posted since we got here, we are just super tired. Even the energizer bunny( that is what my parents call Brad) is worn out. Our flight was late so we were not able to go to the terminal in Moscow. We exited the plane via stairs in the rain and than got onto a bus. All I have to say is standing room only and hold you nose. On our way to Moscow we hit super traffic, dead stand still. Igor our driver or the human GPS as we like to call him was able to find another way.

That night we met up with a wonderful couple, Emily and Dave, and ate at the Hard Rock.
On the way back to our apartment we were stopped by police to check our passports. Brad tells the story best so you will have ask him all about. The two things that got us out of that mess were Brad's love of hockey and having a wife who can cry at a moments notice!!
