44 Pounds

We are so Excited and Nervous to be going, Finally! It is daunting-the trip will take 22 hours in the air: We leave at 4 in the morning Tuesday, from our house on Camano-and arrive in Khab at 8am Thursday! We are gearing up for a serious amount of Jet Time for all 5 of us.

We (Kaia) have been packing for a week; it is hard to fit everything you need for several weeks of living, into 22 pounds of Stuff, or 44 Pounds per suitcase. Yikes! It will be like Frontier Living, with 2 pairs of pants per week!

It seems like it has been just FOREVER since we have seen her-and it has. We don't expect her to remember us, but do expect to win her over quickly again. We hope she has been healthy and growing, as we haven't had any updates. She has been on our minds constantly-to the point of obsessing over pictures and videos.

Anyway-we will be updating as we can, will set up over there and hope to see her Thursday at the orphanage.

Off to Siberia!
