Hi from Moscow!

Hi everyone, we made it to Moscow in one piece and spent the day sight seeing! Our paper work was done while we got to see the city! It is huge, 14 million people! Traffic is busy, it took 1 1/2 hours to drive home this evening. We are being picked up at 4am to make sure we are on our 7am flight! Matty got his Canadian visa so we are on our way home! Michael, I sent you an email to our hotmail, since I forgot the password and couldn't send it from there!
I am rather embarrassed about the amount of luggage I am coming home with. I was like the rich and famous and had to hire a cab to haul half my luggage from the Astana apartment to the airport, because there wasn't enough room in Oshut's car for four adults, a baby and our bags! Matthew slept most of the way here and was very good the time he was awake. Hope that keeps up. He is very grumpy now, after being good as gold all day and having to sit most of the time in the stroller. I just had to send Sarah up to our room because he is so cranky, so I had better go rescue her! See everyone soon! I can't wait! Michael, bring kleenex, because I'm probably going to need it as soon as I see you!
