For anyone interested, you can find some photos of the new baby and her family at this link -- photos.yahoo.com/icpilot.
I may add a few more photos in the coming days as we document Olya's mother's visit with us.
Suffice to say that, in spite of the language barrier, my sons are already quite taken with her and she, in turn, is greatly enjoying seeing the family that her daughter has spoken so much about these past several years.
Not sure if I mentioned it earlier, but Mama (Olya's mother) arrived to the US late on Wednesday. She was met at the airport by a friend of ours, and then came straight to the hospital. Upon arrival Olya was already in labor, and she helped me to coach Olya through the delivery a couple of hours later. Quite a way to make her introduction to America.
