Okay, so most of you didn't get much info past Dec 17, the day before court. After court everything was a whirlwind and there wasn't much time to post. ;)
So here we are after court, proud new parents waiting on some paperwork (I'm totally being mean here and keeping you in suspense since I know you haven't even seen the boys' pictures yet ;)):
And here is our new family the day we picked the boys up, with their orphanage director:
And the boys in the airport, waiting to head home (blonde-haired Dima on the right, dark-haired Zhenya on the left):
We went to the park this morning and played on the playground which the boys LOVED. It's so good to get them outside and running around. Other than language, more than anything we need to work on gross motor skills. Their orphanage focused a lot on fine motor skills, so the boys' gross motor skills are sorely lacking and they're not very coordinated (even for 4 and 5 year olds).
I'll try to fill you in on some of the missing adoption details tonight after the boys are asleep. Dima's already awake from his nap and Z will be up soon. It's a busy household here when they're awake, but we love it! :) :)

Dear Courtney and Mark:
What wonderful parents you are going to make to Dima and Z. I would have to say both the boys and you are very lucky to have each other. They are adorable.

Adorable! Boys are GREAT! Congrats, Mom & Dad!
One word... PRECIOUS!!!
Merry Christmas!
Ooohhh! Just precious! Congratulations, Mom and Dad! You have so much to be thankful for this Christmas!
Courtney! They are beautiful!!! I can say that now while they are little. Later, they probably won't like being called beautiful, but there is no other word for them! You are so blessed. And so are they:). I am so happy for you.
They are so precious! You four make a lovely family. A very Merry Christmas to you! I am so happy that you made it home and are able to start in on loving those little guys 24/7 so quickly! An absolute miracle.

I'm so glad I am able to comment now, because I have to say those boys are so precious!!!!!! We are so happy for the both of you. Hopefully we'll have our own happy ending here in the next few weeks.
