We are in Tomsk!!! Pictures will come soon, I promise. Right now we are trying to settle in, shower and find some breakfast. It's 8:00am here. Ben did great on the trip. He fell asleep during take-off leaving Chicago and did not wake up until about 15 minutes before descent into Moscow. We then hung out at the Domo airport all day. They had a "BabyLand" which had a tunnel thing like McDonald's with a ball pit. Ben spent some time in there playing and checking out the video games. We didn't leave until10:30pm last night. Ben slept the entire trip again, falling asleep during take-off and waking just minutes before landing. We arrived at Tomsk at 6:00am. Leo was able to fit all of our baggage in his car. :)

We have a beautiful room (pictures coming, I promis). It has a separate bedroom with a queen bed. That will be great for Ben during nap time. It then has a living room area with a pull-out couch. The main thing... it has a huge, spa bathroom with a special shower and tub with lots and jets and stuff. It even has a bidet, which Ben thinks is a sink for his height. :) It also has two flat screen TV's, one in the bedroom and one in the living area.

The main manager of the hotel offered this room to us via Leo, but he asked that we watch our children around the bathroom to make sure it stays nice. We actually unpacked since we will be here for 3 weeks. We figured we might as well be comfy.

Mel is in the shower, then we will head down for breakfast. Brian and I are going to see Abby at 10:00am and Libby at 4:00pm.

Pictures will becoming soon!

Praise God for safe travel!! We are thrilled to know you're there safe and sound and all together. Way to go, Ben, for two smooth flights! Your room sounds palatial (The bidet story is a keeper...) - hope we get the same room when we go. We'll be checking in for updates as they come and praying for you as you visit with the girls. Enjoy!! Jennifer

Seriously?! Ben slept the whole way! I think that is already an answer to some prayers.
Praying that the rest of the trip goes as smoothly!
