Hello! This blog is actually being posted by K's sister because K & D have not had internet access since they got the boys. I talked to her tonight, Sat., and she wanted everyone to know that they have the boys and that they are all fine in Moscow. They will post again personally as soon as possible.
We got to visit tonight on the phone for about an hour and I got to hear a lot of fun stories of newness and discovery as they have spent their first few days together alone as a family. K said that the hotel room was like a playground...turning lights on and off and flushing the toilets. She said they were amazed at how much water washed through there. The boys have gotten a taste of some new foods like PB&J, Pringles, cucumbers, cheese, and their favorites, bananas and french fries. She said L is really a talker and they all have trouble going to sleep at night as he continues to talk until he falls asleep. They have found that they love music and that it helps calm them before sleep. K & D tried to interest them in a movie, but they couldn't be less interested. She said they really are on the move and don't slow down much. K & the boys tried to call our parents, but only received an answering machine. The boys said "hello" (in their language), then K was telling them to say "bye," but they were quite confused as to why they were saying "bye" when no one had ever said "hello." K has since then gotten ahold of mom & dad, so now everyone in the family has gotten to talk to them on the phone, which is kind of weird because we're not studied up on their language. It was a little bit of an awkward moment, but it was sweet to hear their voices and awesome for them to know that we're just some more people excited about meeting them and loving them.
Well, I'll finish there so that K will have something to share when she has the chance. |

I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it was to actually talk to our new grandsons!!! No, we didn't understand anything but a few words but it was still so good to hear their voices and know that soon we'll all be together. And, yes, these are very blessed boys as they are in a wonderful family and they will get all the love and care that they need. It only makes me sad to think of all the other little ones over there that will not get the opportunities that these little ones will. We love you L and E. MeMa and PaPa
