Day 2 with the kids has been great. We learn new things every day about them. We have discovered they like MTV, they like to sing, and they eat like teen-aged boys!

I took Cara and Matt to Red Square yesterday... unbelievable place!

Enjoy the pictures and one link.

Cara reading to the girls. The color is off a bit... but it still is viewable.

Dear family and friends,

At about 4am EST on Valentines Day we walked out of the orphanage in Tver, Russia with Natasha and Alexandra. Words can not express the feeling!

All is well here in Moscow. We are in the hotel and the kids are playing with everyone. Tomorrow is a physical for the kids, Wednesday is the US Embassy, and we come home Thursday.

We can not wait for everyone to meet them!!!

Bari and Carol

Walking out of the orphanage... an indescrible feeling!

Dinner in Moscow... 5 hours after we get them... does anyone know what they like to eat?

Notice the upside down sippy cup? Alexandra did not know how to drink from it:)
