We arrived on schedule this morning to Kemerovo, and just like reports from other families and weather.com, it is COLD!!!! There's about 2 ft of snow on the ground, lots of Russians bustling around the city head to toe in fur. Our hotel is nice - small, more like a bed & breakfast. We are now with the other AA family, we had breakfast together, but there's still sleeping now - they had a different flight schedule and weren't able to have a day hotel in Moscow yesterday like us.
We needed to get out of the room, so we've bundled up to find our way around town (so far, so good - have found the internet cafe!) Seems like a nice city- we found the location of the webcam, so maybe we'll try to arrange to be on camera if anyone wants to try & watch. We had fun watching kids go sledding off of man-made wooden slides on the ice/snow.
We asked about going to the orphanage this weekend to see our kids one more time before court, but no go - weather is too bad, and our coordinator is very busy translating the rest of our documents. Court is Monday at 10 am, then we have other paperwork to do that day. We will leave Tues morning to make the 3hr drive to pick up the kids. We'll try to get out more to post more updates.
Happy 8th Birthday, Sammy!

We've been reading the blog and we can't wait until you get to hold Jacob in your arms. Believe it or not, we are expecting a "Heavy Snow Storm" in Atlanta today. Best wishes and give Jacob a hug from us and the boys (Preston and Parker).

Hey guys - I'm back again, logged in under Nate's identity still, and after I posted I noticed our identity was called 'landcruisers.' Have no idea why, but thought you might find it amusing. Just something strange that Nate came up with, I guess!! Anyway, Good luck again, can't wait to hear more about your journey!
love,
Amy
It's great to read your updates! I'm watching with great interest. Stay warm! =)
