Nothing more for us to do!

Today we took the boys downtown for the last of our "stuff" to take care of. We got their passports, got their medicals, and got the boys okayed at the consulate. Now our coordinator heads to Moscow for the Visas and finalizing stuff. Nothing more for us to do now. Just sit at the hotel and enjoy the boys...which we have been! We also went to a really cool souvenir shop. It was kinda weird. There were a ton of Chinese tourists in there that went crazy over our "Russian kids". It was like the paparazzi...seriously! They were taking pictures like crazy. They were trying to pick them up, get them to laugh. It was insane. Good thing we had our transporter (taxi driver) to play body guard. Sergei was awesome. He looks like he is in the Russ mafia too. It was crazy. How ever bad you are picturing it in your head...it was much worse.

Silas is a ton of fun. Always laughing, giggling and teasing. He is super small but is extremely active. Doesn't want to be babied at all. He loves playing chase and being tickled. Both boys are extremely ticklish and want to be tickled constantly. Silas has a non-stop motor. Hate to be a stay at home mom with that guy! Sorry Julie, it doesn't get any easier now that Kelsey is heading to school! He loves doing bubbles, loves cars diggers, loves to run, loves to laugh, eats a ton! He won't stay small if he continues to eat at this rate! He hated bath time on day one, but now he is so excited when we say "coo-pot-sa". He is naked in 20 seconds. He just hates getting water in his eyes. Talks quite a bit of Russian but not even the Russian waitresses know what he is saying all the time. He is always smiling. He is an absolute charmer. Everybody loves him.

Sawyer also is fun. Loves to laugh and tease us. Very attached to Julie. He really enjoys me, but after any signifigant span of time (3 minutes) he needs to find momma. He ate a ton the first day but has been much more picky since. Likes to hold bread like a security blanket. He is a giggle box. Always laughing and initiating eye contact. Doesn't say much. Is extremely needy as far as Julie goes. He always wants her attention, so if anybody else is getting it, he cries for it. So there are 3 kids constantly trying to get her attention. Again, that stay at home mom business is going to be great! Julie really will love it. They are all in a very needy period so Julie is exhausted. He has loved bath time. Hated getting in the first time, but since then loves it. Cries when he has to get out. Laughs when he gets water in his face. Chokes on it, gets it up his nose, then laughs. Kelsey found her swimming partner!

It has been great spending time with them. Rough night sleeping last night. Seems to happen often. We are low on sleep but loving it. I hope to get pictures up tomorrow. Thanks for checking up on us everyone!
