What an awesome video! That is so cool. I have photos from that day, but no video.

Since Annie was bawling her eyes out, sensing that something BIG was happening (and not being real hip on change of any kind), maybe no video is a good thing!

But your video is great! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your last couple of days in Moscow.

If you venture out to Red Square, there is a HUGE bookstore on Tverskaya near there that has children's CDs in Russian language. I bought one and you might want to also. I bought some children's books in Russian for the girls' keepsake box. Wish I'd bought some DVDs but they didn't have them at the bookstore and I didn't go shopping anywhere else. If you can find Ulitsa Sezame (Russian Sesame Street), BUY IT! I got ONE on E-bay and that's all I've been able to find to buy from home. They will play on your computer and on some portable DVD players.

Have a great weekend!

Oh man - I am so happy this day has finally come! CHRIS AND PENNY ARE PARENTS!!!!!! THANK YOU GOD!!!!! Oh man I am so blown away and so fired up when I watch that video....Thank you so much for posting that - and as far as advice for your strong willied child - love and prayers. prayers and love. I have a few of them myself - and the great news is - they will be the leaders and shapers of the next generation! You just have to turn it all for good - and you both will - you both will. Oh I wish I could jump up and down and kiss and hug you and them and cry and laugh and tackle and tickle them and just shout DO YOU KNOW HOW BADLY WE HAVE ALL PRAYED FOR AND WANTED YOU????? I will have to control myself when I first see them or they will forever think I am a nutball. Oh I am so happy for you - silly words do not describe. Much much love and many hugs and kisses and prayers for you all - I can not wait to see you when you get home.

You need a mascara alert on that video! That is absolutely wonderful and such a great keepsake! I'm so glad you'll be able to get home a day earlier. I'm sure you'd love to be sleeping in your own bed! Have a great time sightseeing!

Tears of joy! I'm so glad I've been able to take part in watching your journey in becoming a family of 4. Looking forward to seeing what adventures you and the boys take once you get home.
