Hangin' Out

That's what we've been up to lately. We visited the boys yesterday and this morning and will again tomorrow but we won't see them over the weekend.=( The time we've had with them has been great. I think we are really connecting with them. Our youngest is still very much attached to his caregivers so I'm praying that we don't upset him too much by taking him away next week. Our oldest is ready for anything I think.=)
We've been hanging out with the other familes over here also. We just had lunch with them at a restaurant where I actually ate until I was stuffed. I've been perpetually hungry every day because the food is not very appetizing and the portions are kiddie sized but the buffet today was pretty tasty, except for the cake (the icing tasted like soap). We are trying our hardest today to stay awake during the day and not nap. Our naps have been 8 hours long and we can't sleep at night so we're really trying to get on Kras time now. It's hard, we're both exhausted. It was -9 degrees when we left fort he orphanage this morning! My nose hairs froze!!! It's been pretty cold today but it hasn't stopped us from going out for a long walk. The people here are crazy, they don't even wear hat's or gloves. Chris and I bundle up so much, we look like the little boy from The Christmas Story movie! No wonder why they laugh at us!!=)
I can't wait to post pictures of our sons, they are the cutest! We have some pretty amazing video for you all as well so get ready to be bombarded on gotcha day!
Well, that's all for now. Please keep us in your prayers. We are so ready to come home with the boys but we still have 3 week left! Thanks so much!
