Another exciting day!

I feel like all I do on my blog is blah blah blah about me. I figure if anyone is not interested, they won’t look at it. I hope someday you all make blogs and give me the link! I really look forward to the comments. Barb asked about the Russian pizza and how cold it is here, referring to the bundling up job on Naomi. Those days I’ve gone out I’d guess it’s in the teens, maybe 15 degrees. Which is pretty cold, but when Craig was here it was below zero sometimes, so it’s warmed up! Our adoption agency made it clear, what can happen if you don’t bundle your child up impressively. Locals may approach you and chew you out, I guess it’s happened many time before. I think we Americans are into wearing outer clothing that is not so bulky looking.
From what I understand it has been colder in Minnesota than here in Siberia! Today is Saturday here; there is a school behind the apartment building. Naomi and I walked around for a little bit. She loves to get outside. When I pick up her coat she starts bouncing up and down. Here are a few photos of her exploring the school yard. I can’t find a timer on my camera so we tried a” hold out. “I like the one where she is running down the path. It’s been bright blue skies and sunny everyday we’ve been here. There she is reading her board books in afternoon sun.
The Russian pizza was pretty good. We were desperate, so take that into consideration. I’d say less cheese and sauce that many American pizzas. One of them turned out to be what we call a calzone. Ken said what looked to be a 12 year old boy delivered it by foot. We don’t know how far he came from, but the pizza was cold, of course Ken gave the boy a good tip anyway! The pizza was a great treat no matter what.
I’ve gotten an email from Craig so far. Sounds like he and the boys are doing great, and Mom and Dad are getting a much deserved break. I’m counting down the days!
