Just wanted to get on and say Happy New Years to everyone. Hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday. We miss everyone and hope to see you all soon. Sabina is doing good. We won't see her for two day because of there holiday here, but we will be back to visiting on Friday. It's very loud here at night. They light off fireworks for the holiday like we light up our houses. they do it at all times of the day and night. I think we are the only american in this city at the time. We are going to the market mall to get Sabina an outfit for when she comes home in Feb. Well be safe and we will talk to you next year. LOL

20 days and and counting....hopefully
Hello everyone,
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Anyways just wanted to give you a short update. We found out Friday that the courts here close down from Dec 23 to Jan 5th, so our paperwork will not be looked at until then. After the judge looks at the paperwork she will set up a date for precourt and hopefully court. We don't think we will be home before the 16th of Jan. There laws and procedure are so diffrent then ours at home it is hard to understand there thinking, but we are here and can't leave until after court. Missing Caden and our families and friends is the hardest thing. We can't just pick up the phone and call someone to talk or drive to the mall. Being stuck in this apartment is hard. Lucky for me i sleep until like 11:30 am everyday and by the time i get up and around it is almost 2pm. So my days are going by pretty fast. We have gotten out and walked around there town alittle. Not a whole lot to do. They have market malls but its not like we are here to shop. Anyways i didn't want this to sound like a pity party because its not, we are fine we have each other and we do get to visit Sabina everyday. And by the way she is doing fine nothing has really changed. We are on a 20 day count down, we are hoping to leave in like 20 days. Anyways have a good New Years. Love and miss you all. Talk to you later.

WE ARE BACK ON LINE PEOPLE
Hi everyone,
Sorry we have not wrote in a while, our internet was down. Anyways not a lot has changed. We have been visiting Sabina everyday. She is doing good and starting to really warm up to Brian. She can say a couple words in English but she will just forget when we leave so we don’t push to hard. We got out of the apartment today and walked around town. They don’t celebrate Christmas on Christmas so everything was open. They celebrate on the 31st and the 1st. We went out for dinner at the Beer Pub, cool place. We hope you all are having a wonderful holiday and we wish you all a Merry Christmas. We sure do miss home today. Brian is doing everything possible to keep my mind off of Christmas and what is happening back at home. I hear you all are getting a butt load of snow, that’s cool. We don’t have any here and they said that is why it is so cold. Yesterday was like -19C. Freezing out. The sun doesn’t come up until 10:00 am and it starts to go down at like 4:30 pm so we don’t get much sun time around here. K well I will get you all get back to your families. We love all of you and miss everyone. Talk to you later
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Love Beckie and Brian

This one is of our Apt. We're on the 5th floor.and no elevators. No it's not Hilton but it's home for now. This isnt's kansas either. TOTO
This one is of our view ..... the small little sheds are actually houses. the big ones are the houses for the richer ones. looking forward to coming home!!!
Dinner anyone? Yep these are how their dogs are packaged. Like i said before....cant wait for a whopper from BK...lol
Hi all...
Thank you all for the name suggestions. We were told we have until Wednesday to decide if we are going to change her name. Alot of people have been asking for details so here goes. This is an average day, wait this is all we do everyday. We normally wake up around 10:00am and eat cereal. They have cherrios and milk, there milk is warm and in a box but we just put it in the fridge and brian being the milk lover he is says its normal. Then we both take our bath/shower. The bathtub is huge and it doesnt have a shower head so we sit and take a bath and shower at ones. The water is nasty brown. I will get a picture for you later. Then we sit around the apartment until 3:30 when our coordinator picks us up to bring us to the baby house. We visit with Sabina for 1 1/2 hours a day. We go to her group room and we bring her to a little play room to visit. The divide the kids up according to age and put them in certain groups. After the visit we either go back to the apartment or we go to the market and get some food and supplies. Then we normally come to the apartment and cook dinner and then we get on the computer and check emials and the blog. We watch movies some night or we just sit and watch tv which is in Russian. Then around 11:00 pm we go to bed. That about sums up our days. We have been doing the same thing day in and day out since last Friday. I am sending pictures to my parents and they will post them on here as they get them.
All i can say is life is very diffrent here, but in someways the same. They told us when we got here that it is legal to grow pot but it is not legal to have it in your pocket, we laughed. She told us the pot just grow, they don't plant it or do it on purpose. Anyways i will save some for tomowow. Talk later
