Have you all been dying for post?! :)
Sorry for the delay. We've been just a teensy bit busy these last couple of days!
First of all, thank you to everyone who has been praying for us and encouraging us. We are so blessed by your support. In a nutshell, things are really good. We're tired, of course. But the kids are doing better than we even imagined. Natalie has completely turned a corner. From the minute we loaded them into the van, she snuggled up close to me and has wonderful ever since. Actually, she's been the easiest by far. Yesterday, she said, "Ya tibya loobloo..." I love you. Can you stand it?!
Wouldn't you know... Justin has been the most challenging. I think he's really frustrated that we can't understand him. That's really hard for all of us.
Lexi is doing well. She pretty much just goes with the flow in general. Poor little thing coughed all night though. She is always stuffy and congested. I can't wait until she can breath!
We're all doing well, really. The hotel room is already getting boring though. We bought the cheapest double stroller Russia had to offer and took a long walk around the courtyard today. Scott and I have each already broken a piece off of it. It only needs to last us 10 more days! :)
I am finding that it is very difficult to find time to take pictures, much less get good ones of all three! :) So here's a few and I'll keep working on it.

The last picture...takes my breath away!! Your family...wow! You are so beautiful! That's amazing about Natalie. I will pray that the communication barrier will be better soon and that Justin can relax. Praise God for his PROMISE! I love you all more than I could every say!!!
Yeah!!! Yes I have been anxiously awaiting a post...and I must say it was worth the wait! To God be all the glory! So excited for you...you are finally a family of 5! I can only imagine how amazing it must feel to hold your babies and overwhelming to have the language barrier...God is bigger than all of that! So we will just keep praying for you! Loves to all 5 of you ;)

I have been checking the blog CONSTANTLY and I'm so glad you finally had a chance to post. The family picture is beautiful and we are so happy for all of you!!! We will continue to pray for your continued safety (and patience) as you enter the last portion of your journey. We love you and can't wait for you to be home. Stacy and Jeramie
AMAZING! I have been checking like a mad woman...what a wonderful post to wake up to on a Sunday morning. Brian and I couldn't be happier for the FIVE of you! Just think, the journey has just begun. You have a lifetime of laughter, love, and faith to share with YOUR children. God Bless you all!
You and Scott are just glowing! We are so excited for you all - your sweet little family. We'll continue to pray for you all! As far as Justin, you might want to get out those signing dvds - it might help to break down a little part of the language barrier for all of you. Lots of love, hugs, and prayer support!
What a beautiful family! I have been so excited for you and even more so since reading this newest blog. I love all the pics, especially the one where Justin is pushing around his sister's. Before long he'll be doing that around the streets of Covina! :D

I miss the blue tights on Justin though...I'll see if I can find a replacement pair for him back in the States =)
I love you guys and am SOOO very excited to see you again!
"Ya tibya loobloo..." to all of you.

ahhhh!!!! look at that family of 5! wow how perfect you guys look together.
Hey Guys,
What a beautiful family you make. We loved the pictures. We were thinking and praying for you tonight at small group. We were at the Speier's house tonight. Today it was in the hundreds. It has been that way for the last couple of days. I'm sure it must be a bit colder over there. We miss you guys. Good luck on the stroller situation. A good stroller is worth a pot of gold. Love you guys.
