Congratulations - I've been a lurker up to this point and wanted to "come out" to offer my congratulations! I too am a single woman who brought my now 3 1/2 year old son home from Russia just over a year ago. I also traveled with my mom, we spent 27 days in country on trip two, and I've have been enjoying reading about your adventures together. Your apartment looks really nice and the stories of your mystery deli dinners bring a smile as I remember trying to pass the time and finding humor and joy in the little things I hope you enjoy this time with your beautiful new daughter! It's the beginning of a wonderful new adventure for all of you!
