Onions, Mushrooms and Potatoes Oh My!
Yes these three things we eat every morning. And while the first week this was fun, now it is our on going joke. Root vegetables are in abundance and anything else to eat here is a special treat.
Yesterday we did get to see the Kazakh people celebrate May Day despite miserable weather. It was absolutely pouring down rain and quite cold but we braved it with the crowds and without an unbrella The big parade turned into more of a lot of people marching through the streets with ballons and unbrellas. We did however get to see several music groups preform in the square. Finaly we have seen the dombra played. Our Kazak friends that participate in the English classes have promised to play for us this Saturday as well. Turth be told, all of this rain is causing some cabin fever.
OK enough about our sight seeing. I know you only read on to hear news of our baby boy. Today he had lots of treats for his parents. He was in a great mood and laughed a lot today. He had the hickups and we would pretend like we had them too and he would laugh out loud. It was absolutely adorable. Everyday we do excersizes with him to get him stonger. The other big adoption news is that we were asked for John’s letter stating his need to get back to work soon. I hope that this will help this process move a little quicker. We keep reminding ourselves how worth it all is for this little guy.
We look forward to hearing from you each day, and we can’t wait to share our precious jewel with the rest of you.

Actually, I thoroughly enjoy the sightseeing news, too! It is great to get some context for where Baby Bug is coming from, so we can all help love him better.
Of course he's too little to know much about all this now, but it's there in his ancestors. . .
Do they have good spices? Maybe you could experiment with different ways to cook onions, mushrooms, and potatoes each day ? ? ?
We're all having fun over here comparing notes from the blog and passing on news. Now people are coming up to me at Whole Foods and asking me how it's going (fellow team members, some of Mom's friends, and maybe even a customer or two. . .).
Stay warm.
Love you,
Sharron
I agree with Sharron. I enjoy the cultural news, but the primary interest is Baby Bug. People ask how things are going and are really excited for you. The substitute Grandma's can't wait to hear when the little bug is coming home:-)It makes my morning when I check your blog and there is "new" news:-)
Love,
Jim and Beth
We love hearing ALL the news from you guys! It's great!
Stay dry

I'm so happy for you guys, and I love reading yoru daily adventures!! :)
I can't wait till you post pictures!! :) Hopefully the adoption will be quicker than you thought!!
I'll keep you guys in my prayers.
Yes, the culture is great, but REALLY, all us oldie grandmas' just want to know about Baby Bug!!! Especially looking anxiously each day for when they "allow" you to take his picture!!! I imagine the 'Carter's' brand of baby clothing is not available there, is he just bundled up in wool trousers and wool shirts? (I have the WWII image of clothing, which is probably NOT the true thing) LOL. Sounds like the food is GOOD for you, and, are you IN the apartment now? Or do they let you cook in the hotel room? En-joy
