They're MONSTERS !!!

Lights on, Lights off ... once you stop one, the other starts flipping switches. Jumping on the bed, tv on, tv off ... heat on, heat off ... where did Sasha go? I don't know, I thought you were watching him! Time to go to bed ... Ha, are you kidding me? They won't take off their new clothes! You get one laid down, work on the other, and the first pops up like he has a spring in him!

It took awhile where we smothered them with love laying in their beds with them until the started calming down. Timmy got a little antsy around 2 AM, and as soon as I noticed he put his head down. I pointed to the bathroom, and he jumped out of bed and went and came back to bed. Then I hear, Pa? Pa? Papeet? He wanted water. Then after laying back down he was restlesss, he stood up to make sure he could still see his brother. I put my hand out, and he held it until he fell back to sleep.

I swear they are 10' tall monsters when they are awake and 6" tiny and beautiful children when sleeping. Linda? How was your night?

I slept GREAT! I could hear the little sneezes, sighs and breathing. It was SO soothing (once we got them to settle down). This morning they were laying in their beds when I went into the bathroom. I came out to the TV going, the musical car and "no no no, don't touch". They're SO cute! We had to unplug and move the two bedside lamps; everything within their reach had to be moved before they would finally go to sleep.

Now they've discovered their new packpacks. Sasha's putting stuff in his and putting it on his back. He wants to go to America. We showed Vladik the handle on his so he can drag it behind him. Now he's watching cartoons again.

We were up at 6am and need to be leaving at 9am for the police station and MORE paperwork. I THINK 3 hours is enough to get everyone ready. We'll see!

This is awesome! I think they are just trying to give you guys a taste of what its like to have newborns (up all night)... the next stage will be the terrible twos (no to everything)... Let's see how long it takes for Brian's hair to lose its perfection! :o) I love reading updates and I'm excited for you all! Hi kids!!!

Awesome. Only another 80,000 signatures and DNA and blood tests and they MIGHT let you leave. This is fantastic that you've got some healthy bouncy boys that are more than excited and happy.
