Day 8, 6 to go!

So the second half of our weeks are always busier than the first half. Yesterday we decided to go to McJohn’s for pizza even though it is a bit out of our price range. While there we rn into two friends from class and we told them that we were planing on going to the open market to find a few things. They decided that this would be a fun place to practice their English and learn new words so we all took off for the open market. The main market is like a Target or Walmar but there are hundreds of vendors. You can get some local crafts but most things are made in China (suprise suprise.) John has been wanting to find me a nice outfit here so the two girls had a blast showing us all the differnt clothing areas of the market. We walked so fast that I did not see much. We did find some Kazakh hats and a Kazakh – English dictonary We also went to the Moskow open market and what they called the Japanese market. It went on forever and we eventualy ran out of time.

When we got back to the apartment we left for our favorite part of the day. Spending time with the boy!!! They brought him to us right away today with a half filled bottel. Apparently he heard us come in and refused to eat. The caregiver haned him over and told me to finishe the job. No problemo. It is feeling much more natural to hang out with him. Natailia our Lawyer came by today and John had to write more letters, this time it was to petition the court for adoption. JED is working very hard on sitting up and is fasinated by the reach and grab game.

Today we should find out about our second visit tomorrow. We have lots planed for the next few days including a birthday party, a picnic, shoping with girls from class and getting ready for court. Right now we will spend time with Yezbo to help him practice for his job interview. It should be fun.
