It is official!!! We are the proud parents to Grace Katya! Court couldn't have been any easier! We didn't even get all the questions that I've seen on other blogs. The judge didn't even ask about the latest scandal. Brad went first and it probably only latest 4 minutes. Then I went and answered about 5 questions. The judge was very sweet and seemed truly happy for us. We then went out to dinner to celebrate. Who would have thought that we would have to travel to Moscow to get some really great Italian food!
We visited with Grace today for about 2 hours this morning. She is so sweet and pleasant! Her hair grew in and has lots of curls!!! We had the pleasure of meeting Laura and her son and Dave and Kim with their little princess. It was so nice to talk to them about their adoption journeys. They are both half way through the 10 day wait. The three babies were so cute together. We made sure we got pictures of the three kiddos so when they are older, they can see who their friends were from baby home #3! My favorite part of the day was towards the end of the visit. I had been playing with Grace on my lap and went to put her on the floor next to me. She started to cry and climb back onto me. I wanted to melt! We are so excited to finally get her home, where she belongs! We are going to visit with her again tomorrow afternoon since we are staying an extra day now.
We are anxious to get home, too. We miss our boys tons! Tomorrow morning we are going to Arbat Street for more shopping. We'll be sure to pick something up for them since they have been real troupers the past few months. We are so close to the end, finally!!!

That is wonderful news. Just wondering where you had the great Italian. We will be in Moscow from May 5-8 so let me know the name of it and I'll have to go there. Where are you staying? We rented an apartment on Novy Arabat but have no idea if that is good or bad for us. thanks for keeping us updated.
