Today marks 3 months since we left Russia to return home to the USA without you. The month of June seems to have gone very quickly and we are staying busy doing projects around the house and preparing for you to come home! The highlight of this month came towards then end ... we got an email from Vica with some updated pictures of the 2 of you TOGETHER!!! This was such a great site for your Mama and Papa ... since you were in seperate homes when we visited in March we din't have any pictures of you with each other! The email also let us know that Max has adapted well to the new baby home ... we were happy to hear this because we were concerned of how that might go for you but Max, you seem to have done very well and hopefully you are spending some time with your brother and getting to know him!! The email also says that you are being told you will soon be adopted ... we can not wait until we can come back and bring you home forever!!! The pictures from Vica and Svetlana were so amazing ... I will tell you that Mama and Papa couldn't stop looking at them and staring at your little faces and missing you.
July is going to be a busy month and that's good because we know that the judge in Ekaterinburgh just left for vacation on June 26th and he will be gone until August so if we are busy the month will go quickly and hopefully August will bring good news from the judge!
I'm going to attach just a few pictures of the home improvement project that Papa and I have been doing to get your new room ready!!
We love and miss you and can't wait till we return to Ekaterinburgh to bring you home FOREVER!!!
Love,
Mama
The tree our friend Jason painted on a wall in your room!!
Papa and our friend Seamus (we'll be calling him Pop Pop) putting in the hardwood floor in your room.
Papa working on the floor .. he can't wait til you are here to help him with projects!!!

Hi Christine!
I love reading your monthly letters to the boys, they will no doubt love reading them as they get older!
I am glad that you were able to get pictures of the boys, it certainly helps make your wait a bit easier.
The boy's room looks great so far!
I hope all is well!

I'm so glad Svetlana was able to get some photos for you. It must be great knowing the boys are together. Treasure those photos! I can't wait to see them myself. Hopefully the judge will come back from vacation in a happy mood and get lost of adoptions done. And I love the tree in their room.

I love the monthly letters and the boys room is going to be great, I love the tree!!! Lucky Judge to have a whole month off. Hopefully he has a great vacation so he will be in a great mood when he gets back and all your paper work is excepted!!!!!!! Hope you get back to Ekat SOON.
Wow...getting pictures really helps with the wait, eh? Do you know what grupa(s) the boys are in, by chance????
Love the home remodel in prep for the boys' arrival. Can't wait to see "after" shots. (I'm a huge HGTV fan....)
Hang in there!
