Thursday, November 18th, Rachael's Elective Department hosted an Adoption Shower for us at her school (Beckendorff Junior High, Katy ISD).
A lot of her co-workers showed up to help celebrate our boys.
Here are some pictures:

We also got gift cards, some toys (dump truck, fire engine that makes noise,mega blocks), sippy cups, snack cups, 2 outfits and a few other things.
We really appreciated the shower!
Rachael made up a collage of pictures of us and the boys to show off to those who hadn't seen them yet. Everyone thought they looked really adorable!
We are still waiting on our FBI clearance. Other than that, the papers are pretty much ready to get notarized, Apostilled and sent to Dallas to check then send to Russia.
Please continue to pray for us as we finish getting things ready for the boys. So far, it seems as if we have the funds we need, unless airplane ticket prices go up or something else happens. We know that God will provide what we need, when we need it.
