cue Neil Diamond- "We're coming to America...

...TODAY!!!"

Well, actually not today, but Friday. I'm flying with the kids from Russia to the USA!
John was able to change my return flight home and get me back to the U.S. for a few weeks. I'm so happy that I haven't even started worrying about how difficult it might be to fly solo with these kids again, especially now that Ivy is walking. Wish me luck!

I'll be in touch as my plans get finalized, we'll of course be spending some quality grandparent/ family time. But if you're in the area (or we are) we'll have to try to get together. I fly into SLC and I'm hoping to venture out from there to Ashland or Phoenix or both (yes I may be crazy, but you do what you gotta do right?).

  1. Sweet, you are coming to SLC! It has been forever since I've seen you and I have yet to meet Ivy, so let me know what your plans are. I would love to hangout or do lunch or whatever. Maybe we can get together with the Jacksons too.

    Have a safe trip!

  12. congrats on the pregnancy!! And Matt will be jealous when he hears you went to Russia - he wants to go back so badly. I love hearing of your adventures and can't even imagine what life is like for you over there - I feel like I'm in a completely different world and I'm only in Portland :) Love you. Glad all is well.

  13. Toria! It was so good to see you again at church the other day - your kids are to die for! How is everyone doing?

  14. This message is for John - dude, buddy - it's Allison Syphus from BYU circa 1996. I have wondered for ages where you are and what you're doing and I must say, isn't the blogging world grand??

    So the reason for finally tracking you down: my mom got fed up with 10 kids' worth of "stuff" from birth until college, so she dropped off 20 boxes on my front porch, and as I was going through them, I found the lyrics you and David wrote to your little home teachees back in the day. I was busting a gut. If you didn't keep them, let me know and I'll email them. Priceless.

    I'm married and living in Pasadena, CA, and due with our first in early February. Congrats on all your happy goings-on!

  15. Alright you, this is getting ridiculous! :) You even came up on the playground today. Everyone was like, when is she going to update her blog? We're all dying to know where you are and if you're moving and how your trip was. But you're probably still crazy busy with travel stuff so take your time...just not too much :)
