Lera and Vitalik have been including notes to the brothers, and the boys were even able to see a picture Vitalik had colored for them (shared via the translator's facebook page). Here are the first letters from the Cline boys to their new siblings:

These letters are so simple and sweet, but they totally made me cry. Each boy's letter is so classically "them" that I just thought it was a beautiful snapshot of who they are and who they will be to these new siblings :o)
