I have wrestled with the thought of changing the name of this blog with the addition of our two girls. But we will be keeping busybejamin.blogspot.com. I figure, Ben will be as busy as ever. He is a natural first born and will be bossing all 4 of us around within days of our union as a family. He already bosses Mama and Papa around on a regular basis.

Our plane tickets are booked and our hotel is secured. Here's our departing flight schedule!
3/1/08 -
Depart at 12:25am
From: Phoenix AZ, USA
To: New York Kennedy NY - arrive at 7:07 am

We then have a 9 hour layover at JFK airport

3/1/08 at 4:35pm

Once in Moscow we will go through passport check and customs and then be picked up by our agency at the airport. They will drive us across town to another airport (about a 1.5 hour drive in winter weather). We will then wait at that airport.

3/2/08 around 9:00pm
From: Moscow DME, Russia
To: Tomsk, Russia - arrive 3/3/08 around 7:00am
Not sure how long the flight is, but we will be in the air most of the night.

If you have kept up this means we will be spending Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday night on an airplane.

Please pray that we will get our rest despite the flight arrangements and such.
