We're Heading Back To Russia

We leave November 6th and will arrive in Volgograd on November 7th, Dave's birthday!  Our court date is on November 10th.  We're hoping the judge will be kind and will waive the ten day waiting period but we have been told not to be optimistic, so please cross your fingers for us!  This waiting game has been the most difficult part of the entire journey.  We just want to go over there and bring him home!
