Our final exit from the orphanage. I can't even begin to explain how well things went. Can't wait to tell everyone once we are home. 5 more days and counting. Thursday we leave for Moscow at 6am. Can't wait to get out of Krasnoyarsk but we hope to be back someday and show Mason where his heritage all began. 12-14 years if we have any travels who would like to come along.
Mason's first car ride went great. We had another couple with us that their little boy cried practically the whole time and I thought maybe Mason would start up but he never did. He just looked out the window and talked. We have learned the word baca (bye-bye) and he says it alot. He stands at the hotel door of our room and says it to go. Today we went outside and fed the pigeons with another family and he had a great time just running around.
Mason has been wonderful about going on the potty. Everytime we put him on it he goes. If we mention potty he goes and starts to pull down his pants. If you could pick up a potty for us mom before we get home that would be great.
Look girls at what daddy is doing to Mason already. For now Mason thinks it funny. Like the rest of us--that won't last long
.
Mason is great sleeper, we put him in the crib and asleep he goes. (See the giraffe Madi) Hey dad, it would be great to have the crib up cause I don't know how well he'll adjust to the toddler bed right away. Thanks.
Mason has taught us so much. I love the little man with all my heart but I also can't wait to get home to my two beautiful girls. I miss them terribly so. So does dad. We aren't a family till all five of us are together. Everyday is one day closer.
One journey is coming to a close but another is just beginning.

Oh my gosh. I can't believe the final count down is here. I will get your van all clean and figure out the seat on Friday. Hope he takes to the seat okay. He should like that van with the big windows!! I am soooo happy and sooo proud of you two!!!! Everytime I read a blog I almost start to cry. The pictures are always adorable & nice to see!!! He looks just like you and Marty. Take lots more pictures for us to see when you get home. And take in all of Siberia & Moscow so that you have lots to tell Mason in the future. Hopefully, Tammy, you have been keeping a diary of some sorts so you won't get old-timers disease and forget everything for later. Take care and lots of love Kristen
