Us Four (Now Six)

We went to DisneyWorld as a family, right before we got the referral for the twins. We didn't even know about them yet, but they were there, waiting for us on the other side of the world. We had a great time as a family in Disney. Disney did such a great job of having interesting and fun stuff to do. In Orlando alone there are tons of parks and attractions. You could even skip the whole Disney thing and go to Universal, Sea World, or The Holy Land. I know there is more, but I can't think of it. But for Florida, you name it they've got it. I can't wait to go back one day, when the boys get older. :)

Meet the Family Series

This shall be one of many pieces and parts. I want to do a post for everyone in la familia, plus our 2 new additions! I've been wanting to post an update, but we've been adjusting to life with 2 precious Russian babies. They are so full of energy, smiles, and curiosity. I am so thankful for them, they fit right in with our family.
I will post pictures of them as soon as I can. I know yawl are dying to see them. They are really cute!

Libby getting ready for the snow

Mom and dad left the snow here, to be in the snow in Russia. We got about 6 inches, since Friday. We've played in it literally all weekend. I think I'm ready for it to melt now. We haven't been able to go anywhere since Friday. Ahhh! The roads are still very icy. Our county schools are shut down, even today!

Welcome to our Family

Today was Court. All morning I waited, checking my email every 10 minutes. Rushing to the phone when it rang. Waiting, waiting to hear something. As we logged on to Skype mom and dad, we knew. We could see it in their faces. The judge had waived it, he did. That 10 day waiting period is no longer a worry. God is so good. We've been praying that God would graciously put it in the judge's heart to waive the 10 days. And He did. We knew that whatever the final decision of the judge was, it is what God has for us. This is all for His glory. We praise Him for everything He has done. He got mom and dad to Volgograd, right before it snowed, right before the airports were shut down.
Now, these precious baby boys are officially part of our family!
