New Breed of Idoits!

For some reason this morning Mike thought it would be GREAT idea to walk to the market (usually a daily trip) in the 40 mile per hour winds , snowing , COLD!! Stupid me went along with his idea. Once we got outside Mike announced that we were a new breed of idiots! We should have stayed inside. The walk to the market is 4 blocks each way. The return trip to the apartment was walking into the wind. I took a snowflake to the ice, had the wind not been blowing so hard it would not have hurt like it did. Yes, it is still snowing and we walked to our resturant, no one ever said we were smart.

Our visit with Ben today was great. He is getting more and more comfortable with us. Almost an hour and half into our visit he got so tired. Once again he feel asleep in my arms. Since we still had 30 minutes in our bonding session Mike made a bed out of our coats (mine on top grandpa) and we laid him down. He slept for the rest of our bonding session, it was so so sweet. Yes, I have pictures and will try to post them in the next couple of days.

Our coordinator is very busy preparing our documents to present to the court on Tuesday next week, which is when we get our court date assigned. We are hoping to be in court next Thursday.

For lunch today we went to Istabul (another turkish resturant) and we have gotten good at ordering food. This time Mike was asking for the check and somewho ordered hot tea. It took another 15 minutes before she came back and we could ask for the check. Here in Kazakhstan you must ask for the check it is never just left at the table.

Also, only gas station attents pump gas. They have 86, 90 and 96 octane gas and stations are everywhere. Keep in mind Kazakhstan is sitting on a very large oil reserve.
