Here is an update from our friends the Pethtels who are in Russia adopting three new children. We are keeping their three youngest children here whilst they are away. Here is a blurb from one of their e-mails-"We are now in Moscow, Russia where we have been since yesterday (Tuesday) the kids are with us and we had court last Friday and obviously the Russian court granted us adoption of the three children. Elena Louise Pethtel 7; Stephen Andrey Pethtel, 3 and Anastasia Elaine Pethtel 2. The kids are all doing great and we are only one block from Red Square. Because we coudl nto get a flight out until May 1st for us all, we are staying in a nice, expensive apartment for the week and enjoying being only one block from Red Square. Melissa is with us and is enjoying the traveling and the new children. Here are some pictures."-Mr. and Mrs. Mark Pethtel-Kressant
