Slugs, Snails, Puppy Dog Tails and Dirt!

That's what our little boys are made of! I actually thought it was a good idea to take the boys out into the garage with me while I vacuumed the car. I didn't know they'd be so fascinated with the exhaust port on the Shop-Vac though!


In the good news department, we submitted our photos for our first Post Placement Report that the Russian Federation requires after being home for six months. They also require a report at 12, 24 and finally 36 months. Our part is easy, we just submit updated photos. Our local social worker, who did our homestudy, is the one who actually writes all the reports.

We have our State's finalization court date coming up on May 7th! In the eyes of Wisconsin law, we're just foster parents right now but after May 7th, it's the real deal! May 7th also happens to be Roman and Sergei's 2nd birthday. What a way to celebrate!
