We were supposed to go to Moscow today, but Ashlyn's passport wasn't ready yet, so we can't go until tomorrow night ( overnight train ). This really stinks because we still have to pay for the two nights that we didn't stay in Moscow on top of the two nights here. Not only that, but we were looking forward to all the extras we were going to be getting in Moscow ( phone, internet, tv ). Ashlyn is really doing good! She can now say mama and dada and she learned to wave goodbye when prompted. She's a CRAZY girl :), into everything now, just like a toddler should be. We love seeing her explore and learn so quickly. She'll catch up before we know it. We tend to go to the food store, right next to the hotel each day, and it's the highlight of her day. She's so well behaved while sitting in the cart. We had to pay our fines today, for traveling on a business visa ( $200 per person ) and that went good. We were told to expect to be yelled at, but there was no yelling. We just had to sign some paperwork stating that we broke some law, and pay the fine. I'm glad that's over. Gotta go before internet time runs out. I'll post as soon as we get to Moscow. Thank you to all of you that continue to read my blog and respond. It really helps :).

Hey guys hopefully everything goes well tomorrow so you can head to Moscow :) Jimmy and Sean were on the phone together for a while they can't wait to hang out again. I know once Ashlyn gets around other children she will catch up pretty quickly.The hardest part will be getting her to eat the food, but once she can get the whole texture thing figured out she will be fine. Ally and Alex will introduce her to all that junky food. Well good luck and I will talk to you tomorrow. Love your favorite sis.....
Sounds like Ashlyn is adjusting really well...I am so happy for you guys!!!I bet you can't wait to get her home, i am sure her brothers are excited about seing and spoiling her!

It sounds like your trip is going well and Ashlyn is making great progress. What a cutie pie she is. Hope you get to leave for Moscow tomorrow! Hang in there, you are almost done.
So glad she is doing well!! She is going to blossom so much once home with her new family! It stinks about having to pay for two different places, and for the fine. Hope you guys make it to Moscow soon. :)

I don't imagine at her age the orphanage had family style meals.Once she gets home and sees everyone chewing and eating and being social she'll join right in.Hey Ron,I really wanted you to Fenways organ playing today or at least the crowd in the background.Redsox won 7-3.Hang in there every day you are a little closer to home. love and kisses to all nana
I was just thinking how great this blog is and what an awaesome thing it will be for Ashlyn when she gets older. The journey you have all taken; it reads like a book. Her history, the pictures... it's so cool that she will have this link to her past. Can't wait to see where her future will take her!
Love, "Auntie" Aggie
Playing catch up.
She's so sweet. Glad she is doing so well. Sounds like she is a doll. Hope your ride to Moscow goes well. All those extra expenses are terrible. I hope no other surprises come up.

Hi
[url=http://www.internetmosque.net ] Translations of the meaning of the Quran [/url]
"How did he become a prophet and a messenger of God?"
At the age of 40, while engaged in a meditative retreat, Muhammad received his first revelation from God through the Angel Gabriel. This revelation, which continued for twenty-three years, is known as the Quran.
As soon as he began to recite the words he heard from Gabriel, and to preach the truth which God had revealed to him, he and his small group of followers suffered bitter persecution, which grew so fierce that in the year 622 God gave them the command to emigrate. This event, the Hijra, 'migration', in which they left Makkah for the city of Madinah some 260 miles to the north, marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar.
After several years, the Prophet (SAW) and his followers were able to return to Makkah, where they forgave their enemies and established Islam definitively. Before the Prophet (SAW) died at the age of 63, the greater part of Arabia was Muslim, and within a century of his death Islam had spread to Spain in the West and as far East as China.
