Dbl the Birthday Fun! Our Sons are 5yrs old
Where did the time go, our Boys are 5 yrs old!
I remember holding them on a plane ride from Siberia to Moscow to NYC to ATL. We had a Birthday Celebration at a local restaurant with 14 of their Friends the weekend before their big day. They we did it all again, more cakes and celebration on their actual Birth - day which was a school day. Below are pictures from their 1st birthday. Yes, there are 2 babies in the picture amongst the sugar-free cakes. The other, their 5th Birthday Cake eating frenzy at the restaurant.

Congrates Jess I just got home from Moscow. I am so Happy for you. I hope We are not far behind!
Tweety Thanks for the pic. It really help to cheer me up. I am still crying because we had to leave the behind. Not that they are being treated badly or anything. I just want them to come home with us! NOw! I will post later I am still recovering from the long journey! I just needed my forum fix.
