"Mama" holding Yarik and Nikolai. Notice the clothing....they will put on girls or boys shirts, sock or shoes if that is what "almost" fits...and then they have to wear it for the week! They are tripping out of their shoes. It looks like Lamar and I have some clothes shopping to do in the near future....
Let me introduce to you the youngest brother, Yarik (his real name is Yaroslav). He is quite the ham! He will keep us on our toes! He does have hair! He is no longer Cue-Ball. Oh well!
Let me introduce to you the eldest brother, Nikolai. His nickname here is Kolya. (I know it's confusing. Hang in there!) He smiles all the time. There is nothing "angry" about him like the picture we saw at the SDA office. He is a kind soul.

Wow! This just became a reality for me. I have the chills...Nikolai and Yarik are two good looking boys. Wow! I'm really speechless...I am so happy for the two of you. No, I take that back. I'm so happy for the six of you! Love, The Very Proud Florida Aunt Teresa
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH!!! The boys are gorgeous!!! You can see the joy on all of your faces. I can't wait to meet them and give them a big hug (and you guys too). We love you!! The Thoroman's
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is, "this is what you have been waiting for." These boys were worth the 21 month "pregnancy"!
ReplyDeleteWe love you, and CAN'T WAIT to hug everyone.
Rebecca
Sam, Ally, Max, Keeley and Ava
p.s. THEY ARE GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteHonestly I can't tell that you didn't birth them yourself :) They fit perfectly! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Amanda, William, and Bailey
This is so AWESOME!!!! They are gorgeous, and sooooooooo HAPPY!!! Oh, and you two looked like you might, deep down somewhere, be experiencing some joy as well...just a tad. Hey, remember we have an outlet mall near the house and would LOVE to help stock the closets!!!!! As soon as you feel like we can, give us the nod and we will shop!!!! Hey, wearing the same clothes for the week would certainly solve my runaway laundry pile....hhhmmmm....
ReplyDeleteSo much joy here for you all. I know Josh and Jacob must be so excited!! Wondering if the process will allow you to come home sooner than you planned....on this trip, I mean. I am still trying to figure out the process. I know you are trying to get the ten days waved....maybe that is the answer to my question.
I know it must be hard to be away from the boys today, but as long as you are getting all of the legalities accomplished, then that's all you need to do!!! I imagine you wanted to stay in that room with them for the next week and just play!! Kris, I can imagine I would have had the same reaction of the dam of tears breaking when I even laid eyes on them the first time!! I woke this morning with all of this happy energy with thoughts of you guys. THANK you soooooo much for keeping us updated and for the photos. It means so much to all of us!! Now stop reading this and get back to work to bring our boys home....Oh, and Garrett said that two boys instead of one girl his age was way cool!!!!!!
Godspeed,
Clara-Leigh
HOLY COW!!!! (Sorry, the Wisconsinite sometimes comes out of me when I am REALLY excited!) YOU HAVE 4 (FOUR, FOR, FORE) BEAUTIFUL BOYS!!! Just as you are thinking, I have 4 beautiful boys, they are thinking "WE HAVE PARENTS, WE HAVE 2 BEAUTIFUL PARENTS - A MOM AND A DAD!!!!" I cannot wait for them to meet Josh and Jake - Doncha know, hey! Their smiles light up the room, and my whole computer!! This was meant to be! Right now, the word "Douberly" means nothing to them. But just wait, they are going to learn quickly that it is the sweetest "word" they could ever learn and be a part of! They have no idea what is about to hit them. These are the luckiest little boys in the whole world, and they are YOURS!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have to start brother time as soon as you finish dinner! They are all going to be the best of friends!
I am soooo happy for youu guys, hey! Please, please, please keep the pictures and postings coming! You know the treatment for my DBCOCD is not going well, nooo, noooo, not well at tall, doncha know!
I love you both, and am sooo happy for you - hey! Take care of yourselves, each other and your beautiful new boys!!!
Many blessings!
The Kruegers
Praise God! You are so right..... perfect fits! They are such cuties with amazing smiles that light up every picture. We can see already so much FUN and LOVE in your future.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the day to see your 4 Sons all together.... oh happy day!!!
Lots of Love to you all,
The Bouve's
Beautiful beautiful beautiful... Unreal. I swear if you all make me cry one more time I'm gonna overcome my fear of leaving the country and tackle you! Congratulations on so very much. I couldn't be prouder of you or happier for you. I can NOT imagine how excited Joshua and Jacob are after getting to see the pictures. Good job Douberlys... to the world you may just be four people, but today to those two boys- you are the world! (and now the six of you will be quite a force to be reckoned with) Love you all!

Joshua and Jacob did see the first two pictures you emailed, but have not seen the others. I can't wait for them to get off the bus after their first day at school to see the new pictures of their brothers! Just gives me the chills typing this! To say we are excited is an understatement. Praying all goes well today. God bless you. Love, Mom and Dad
ReplyDeleteThe happiness is obvious and contagious! What beautiful little boys you have found- a long journey that was so worth the wait. What a remarkable couple you are and Jacob and Joshua are going to be wonderful big brothers. Oh my- more Douberly boys for the Nowicki girls to LOVE!! We continue to think of you each day -All our Love- Danny, Amy, Claire and Jilly
ReplyDeleteOh, my!!!
ReplyDeleteWords can't describe the love and joy reflected in your smiles! WOW! WOW! Douberly handsome boys who truly melt our hearts! They look like you gave birth to them. Precious, precious, precious! Blessings and love as you continue your journey. Lots of love, Dad and Mom Blaise
Those are 2 very handsome boys. You all look so happy. I am wishing you all the best. I am so excited for you and your family. Jocelyn
ReplyDeleteBrought tears to my eyes! I am thrilled for your family.
