First off WELCOME HOME!!! They are adorable! Secondly, am I the only one who crys at these pictures??? It totally takes me back and warms my heart. Something about seeing the kids in Red Square makes me breath a sigh of relief that the journey of waiting is over and new families are coming home.
THanks for sharing your beauties with us!
