Progress

Airline tickets ordered, travel visas ordered and arrangements made for the children. I guess I should add that hay was purchased for the horses to help out in the event Christina does not feel like getting out to feed them.

This week, I will take our suits to the cleaners and start the process of getting "clean" money. That last task is the most frustrating part. Russian money changers do not like and will sometimes reject bills that have any markings, are too worn or have too many creases. Some parents have gone so far as to iron each bill so that it looks as good as possible. Some banks look at you like you are nuts when you hand them money and tell them it is too dirty or too worn and that you need better looking bills.

Keep us in your prayers...
