Silly boys

Today as we were waiting for Roman and Max to come to the room for our visit we could hear Roman walking down the hall talking to his caregiver ... he was saying over and over .."Mama and Papa, Mama and Papa"! He is becomng very familiar with us and today we got to see a little of his "wild" side after Stephen got him all hyped up while playing. He wanted to give Stephen a toy so he said "DadDy and then DaDa" to get his attention.

Max continues to be "quiet serious" but we know it's a matter of time before he cracks and we see him smiling and laughing!!! We won't see them this weekend so Monday is our last "visit" with them since Tuesday we will be working with Svetlana to gather all the paperwork to leave and the embassy and then Wednesday when we go to see them they will be leaving with us!!!

Check out our silly monsters!!!


batsaloy mishka ... hugs and kisses for the bears







just a little crazy at the end of our visit!

They gave us mask to wear but the director told us we didn't need to put them on unless someone came into the room ... WHAT ... ok, whatever ... but I think it's ironic they want us to have masks NOW ... now when we are both better and not sick...oh well ... only 1 more day for visiting and then they come with us for good!!!

Happy Anniversary! This will be one you will never forget for sure. We are leaving for vacation and returning on Nov. 14th. We will be thinking of you on your return trip home - the same day I believe! Best of luck with the rest of your paperwork and time in Moscow. Thinking of doing Billy's family birthday party the weekend of Dec. 4th - check your calendars and see if that works for you. We want to do it when the boys can come meet their new cousins.
Lots of love,
Josh, Deanna, Brooke, and Billy

Hi Christine,
I just updated myself on all of your posts. At points, you had me in tears! Isn't it amazing how far the boys have come just over the week that you have been with them? They are already asking for daddy. This is just precious.
Happy anniversary, what a way to celebrate! Good luck with your last week in Russia. Take it all in, take lots of pictures and enjoy the boy's heritage!
Can't wait for gotcha day!
Adrian

Oh....the pics are just a glimpse into what you are in for....all boys for sure! And what fun!

And you're right - Max will crack and then won't go back. Kristina was the same way but now she's always smiling and laughing(ok...almost always) -- except when we want to take a picture!

Enjoy your last few days in Ekat!
