Final Day in Omsk

It is 9:00pm Friday in Omsk (10:00am Friday in NC) and we are packing to leave tomorrow. It is bittersweet as we are leaving Ethan but we are also missing Christian and Logan more than words can say. We had two great visits with Ethan today. We finally got a smile out of him which the nurses say is probably his first (thanks Kathy the suggestion worked). It is very hard to leave him but we know he is in good hands with the nurses at the hospital and the caretakers at the orphanage. He should be back in the orphanage in a few day's. Our return trip to bring him home will be in 1 to 3 months. That trip will last atleast 14 days.
Michelle and I would like to thank everyone who made wonderful comments. It was great to hear the support of family and friends. Since We have not had a conversation with anyone who speaks english this entire week it was refreshing to read the comments from those back home in the good old USA. The final picture is of Michelle and I in front of the frozen Irtysh river.
