INTRODUCING...............................................

Zhenya Erik Fellers

Is that not the cutest face ever?!?  For me, it was love at first sight!!

Elizaveth (Leeza)  Marie Fellers
Okay..it is a tie for the cutest face ever!!  Here is our papa's girl!! 
We had court and it went beautifully. We were there less than an hour...Zhenya did a fabulous job when he had to talk to the judge.  He entered the room and said an enthusiastic "Good Day".  They asked him a few questions and they made the decision, read the court decree and now we are the proud parents of two!!!
Now for the 10 day waiting period....................they will stay in their orphanage for the next 10 days.  We get them in our care on September 6th which happens to be Zhenya's 10th birthday as well.    Zhenya went back to camp this afternoon.  The entire internat returns on the 29th, but we won't get to see him again till the 31st.  They will be getting internat life organized on the 30th.  We of course still get to visit Leeza everyday.  I am so looking forward to brother and sister reuniting next week!!  Here is a picture outside the courthouse with the directors of both the internat and the orphanage as well as the inspector.  Leeza is too young to come to court so it was just Zhenya with us.
We are so excited!!!  Thanks for all the prayers!  Now we need prayer to make it two more weeks here...we are ready to bring our babies home!!

Thanks!! Yes, smoother than others have had...I am pleased that we went through our agencies...it has helped in a number of ways. Plus, we really truly put God in complete control...these are His kids more than ours!!
Thanks for so faithfully writing. It makes it easier when we hear from the U.S!

WOOT WOOT.... They are beautiful. And look a lot like the two of you. But God is so cool to let us find kids that look like us. It doea make things a little easier on the kids I think. I hope someday we maybe can meet. The next 10 days will seem like the go slow. All I can say is rest. Once you get home your life like you knew it before is gone. This kids that come from the orphanges don't know how to sleep in.14 weeks home and we still get up before the chickens. One day Karen even asked if she could find a chicken to wake up. hehehe CONGRATS =0}
