It's Official!

Hello Everyone,

We have passed a major milestone. It is official that Daniel and Katya are a part of our family. Today Joseph spent 4 hours traveling around doing paperwork. They got the court decree, birth certificates and applied for passports. What a great feeling to be on the move again. We will be going to Moscow next Thursday night. The overnight train ride will be interesting with the 2 kids.

Things here have been going pretty well. We are continually working on getting to understand Daniel and Katya better. They also understand us better. The new food of the day was pizza. We were able to find a pizza crust mix in the store and so we made homemade pizza. Daniel is a great help in the kitchen. It is fun to see his excitement as he helps. He almost tries to help too much. The other day he helped me make meatloaf. He was so proud of himself that he told Joseph about 4 times that he helped me make dinner. What fun it is to experience these firsts with them.

Hi! We are so excited for you! Sunday dinners with the cousins is going to be a big party now! Jessie and Sara keep asking about you guys. We'll have to go to the zoo or something (maybe we'll start with the park, ha!) when you get home. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Be safe and give our newest niece and nephew a kiss! Love Kristen and Bruce

Kamber, when I read your comment about feeling like you were cheating on Kyler and Brigham I understood the feeling. I remember when I was pregnant with Sara that I was worried I wouldn't love my other children as much as I loved Jessie, but Heavenly Father just helps our hearts grow, so meet all of our new family members. You're going to be a great mom of 4!!!! Kristen
