We Met our Boys!!!

They're adorable, alert and energetic. They played well with us and with each other. We think they're fine but will let the international doctors give us input before we make our decision.

Vladislav was more quiet and thoughtful while Alexander jumped right in playing with the toys we brought. By the way, Vladislav goes by Vladeek and Alexander goes by Sasha. Common Russian nicknames. After a little while both boys were playing together.

They are stealing our hearts!!!

We'll update again tomorrow. The orphanage is about 2 hours outside of the city and we'll be making another visit tomorrow. We should finish everything tomorrow, so we might head to Moscow a day early ... and may actually come home early.

Thanks again for all your comments. We really enjoy reading them!

I'm so happy for you guys! What a holiday this will be, assuming everything works out - which I'm certain it will. Those two boys sure look perfectly perfect! I can't imagine the emotions you must be experiencing right now. Just know that we are thinking about you and praying for you constantly! Thanks for the blog - it's so nice to know you are safe and sound.
