Dear Roman and Max,
November 3, 2009 ... we have COMPLETED our court date and officially become your parents as of Friday, October 30th! Your Papa and I were very excited to hear the judge announce that from this day forward you would be officially known as Roman Robert Pupek and Maxim Vincent Pupek and that we would be known as your parents in every way!!! It was a day we looked forward to over the last 7 months and the day we worked so hard to get to ... the day you would officially be ours forever and be coming home with us!!!
Papa and I have been here for over a week and most of that time has been spent with you and getting to know you and you getting to know us! We are having a great time playing with you and it seems you are really enjoying all the toys we bring to you!
Roman - you are the curious one of our bunch ... you like to explore what we have and this week you have begun to play with things that aren't "toys" but are fun to have anyway ... you were really interested in Mama's chapstick on Monday and Tuesday you were all about having Papa's cellphone and wearing it around on your belt like he does. You are a chatterbox! We aren't sure if you are always saying words but you do talk up a storm and you are beginning to repeat words we say in English! You love to play with the shape puzzel and have gotten very good at putting it together! You are also good at sharing the toy cars with Maxim... when he comes into the room you immediately go up to him and give him a car ... you are a good brother!!! You are also beginning to smile and giggle with us ... you like to laugh at Mama when she does crazy things .. that's good because Mama is always doing something crazy at home so you'll be laughing LOTS!!! At the end of each visit you give lots of hugs and kisses ... nice big HUGS ... and say "dysvidania" and wave as you walk out the door ... always knowing we will be back tomorrow or the next day!!!
Maxim - you are still are quiet observer! You are very funn with your "little old man walk" ... you love to come into the room and look at the toys and you have been going to find the animal puzzle and you like to play with that. If you love that puzzle you are going to love your room because we have lots of jungle animals in there just waiting for you!!! You haven't said anything since we started to visit with you but you keep watching us and looking at everything that goes on so we know one day you will share your voice with us. Not to worry though Papa says he was the same way when he was your age and now Mama can't get him to be quiet ... he's a huge talker ...epecially in the early morning when Mama is still asleep!!! Yesterday we were able to get a little smile out of you so we know you are having a good time with us and we know once we get home you are going to just open up and show us who you really are!!!
We are having so much fun with you boys and can't wait until November 11th when we will come to the baby home one final time to see you and when we leave we will all leave together ... FOREVER A FAMILY!!! There are so many people at home waiting to meet you and counting the days until we arrive at JFK and they can see your cute little faces!!!
We love you,
Mama and Papa
Together AT LAST!!!!

Isn't it wonderful, the next time a letter is due you will all be home and you can share your thoughts in person with lots of hugs and kisses!!!
Someday, the boys will be able to read all your letters and will know how important they are to both of you and how hard you worked at everything to become their parents. How lucky they are to have you and Stephen!!!!
