Leah Dorothy was born Aug. 4, 2006, and Hope Elizabeth on July 9, 2007. We are tucked into our hotel room and things went WONDERFULLY (again, more details later). Now we wait here for their Russian passports. We filed a "please speed up the process" document yesterday, but it could be mid-August before we have them in hand.
Here are a few pics. I promise more when everyone's awake! It's going on 1:20 a.m. here and I hope I can go back to sleep! I wonder if a toilet flush is going to wake everyone up?

We LOVE Papa.
