I can't talk for long. Sasha/Alexander is cleaning out the library
while I type this. We are safe in Moscow. Just have to get by the
US Embassy and we are on our way home. His first flight was not a
total disaster. Here is hoping for fun on the next one.

To quote what Alexander is thinking the past few days, "Naps, we
don't need no stinking naps."

My resonse, "Just wait till you have kids of your own young man."

I'm already turning into my parents.

[ROFL] That's how my 4 year old is too. We have to curl up with him or it seldom happens.

Another quick note. Just looking over the swarm of landmarks. I am going to be busy all next week just catching up with everyone.

Today is Embassy Day. 48 hours and we are in the US, trying to get Sasha to sleep with a different time schedule. 60 hours and we will be home and this is all over.

Went to Red Square yesterday. Is it wrong that Stalin, Lenin, and Marx were posing for pictures for a few rubles, near Mickey Mouse and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle rip offs? Is it wrong that the pretty red building at the end of Red Square now sells the best souveniers in town?

Anyway, Sasha is just one little boy. Our search for sibblings ended a couple months ago when they offered us kids with severe mental problems, and we wanted Sasha instead (Sasha is the nickname for Alexander).

See you soon.

::Disappointed that in all probability Kama will never be aware of my jab, since she's already posted in this thread, and will be unlikely to read through all of the various congratulations::
