Bush Legs

One of the fun things we spend a lot of time doing with our Kazakh friends is explaining the many slang words that have found their way into our vocabulary. Last night we learned our first Russian slang. We were with our friends at a resturant and they were helping us translate the menu and stated that the item was “Bush Legs.” We asked, “What does this mean?” They then explaind that Senior President Bush negotiated the importation of chicken legs into USSR and since then they have called them Bush legs not chicken legs...

I am sure that you decided to read our blog this morning to learn this interesting fact. But I will spend some time telling you about our never ending story of our time in Kazakhstan. While we have been rolling with the punches of delay after delay, my patience for this process is almost gone. We have decided to stay in our apartment a few more days to save more money. We had agreed to go back to the Pushkin today but since pre-court is not until Monday we will now go back on Tuesday. We are really really hoping the court will be on Wednesday so that we can bring him home with us and then leave for Almaty on the next Monday. This is what we are really hoping for so that we can be back on the 7th of June. We will know more on Monday.

The other really great thing is that our boy is starting to feel better and has been full of giggles. It is amazing how happy it makes us when he smiles and giggles. We can not wait to share him with all of you. Today we had two great visits with him. Now that he is feeling better we are continuing to excersize him and he is starting to push more with his legs. He is also ok with us putting him on his belly again and will roll around while making gurrling noises. It is pretty darn cute!

Last night we had another wonderful evning with our friends. Yezbo came over and had dinner with us then Nayda and Anure came. We all went to the Pushkin and visited with the Deloros’s. Our friends seem to be enjoying meeting our American friends. Tomorrow we will only get to visit our Boy once so I think that we will get to go swimming on Saturday or maybe we will go to the second hand stores looking for more cool clothes.
