Still here and waiting

Above you can see us with some of the baby house staff plating apple trees.

As always we have been very busy, but I have found a few minutes to hit the internet cafe for an update. Yesterday while I was at the cafe, John cam by with a couple of our friends. We all decided to go to the Victory cafe next to the WW II monument. It was very cool as it is all outdoor seating and they have a big open pit fire for BBQ. We all ate shish cabobs and we learned lots of Russian and Kazak and our friends got a lot of practice with their English. Unfortuantely though the waitress tried to over charge us. We did show her how much it should have cost and then she still had 120 tengay too much but would not bend on it. Unfortunately we did not have enough, so our evening became even more interesting. We ended up going by the Pushkin to exchange money there but they were not supper helpful. So Nayda, Aunre and I went up and visited with an American family staying there while John and Yezbo went back to the appartment to get more money. Eventualy it was all solved and in the mean time friends were made and we hade cookies that were very good.

Today we have had two wonderful visits with our son. He was in such a good mood this morning. John would pretend sneeze and he would just start laughing outloud. It was so funny to see over and over again. He tired of it much sooner than we did. For lunch today we went and had pizza at McJohn’s in the artrium and then came home for all of five minutes.

This afternoon he was a little fussier at first but after a little more coughing he felt better and mellowed out. We are mailnly having a lot of down time with him right now until he feels better. If we get him too excited he starts to cough more. It is also a million degrees in the room we see him in. They will not let us have the window open and they insist that he is covered head to toe. I am looking very forward to breaking him out. Hopefuly this time next week he will be ours forever.
