Hello from Allentown, PA! :)
We worked reallky hard trying to get flights, but there were just too many problems--our credit card wouldn't work, we had a hard time finding flights that didn't have long layovers, etc. So we opted to rent a car and drive home. It's about 14 hours (without kids) from NYC to St Louis, so we picked up the car last night and drove a ways to Allentown. We booked a hotel on the road, and now we're up and will be heading out again soon.
The boys travel well in the car, but last night Zhenya was NOT fond of the car seat. We'll see how they do today after getting some sleep. :)
The flight yesterday was great and the boys did really well. Zhenya slept for about an hour but Dima didn't sleep at all. They were so exhausted by the time we got the rental car (about 7pm EST, 2am Ukraine time) that as soon as we started driving they both crashed and slep the whole way to Allentown.
I'll fill everyone in on more details about the adoption once we get home, which will either be late tonight or sometime tomorrow depending on how we do today. Thanks again for all of the prayers! God has truly been going before and behind us in every way possible. :)

Congratulations!
It must be nice to almost be home. :) It is good to hear that your sons are doing so well and so are you two. It sounds like the trip has been one miracle after another.
What a wonderful Christmas!
