Peanut Butter

We slept late this morning, then had the usual breakfast at Gazovic, then Umit from 10-1130. We had a very nice visit today. Both Dub & Lena were on their best behavior, except when we asked Dub to garshok. He threw a little fit, at least for him what is a little fit, which means he pouted and turned around. We did this twice, then just sat him on the potty the third time, and after a few minutes, he went...a lot.

Lena continues to learn how to say very adamantly, "Please!" for treats. Dub kind of mumbles it, but means it, just doesn't articulate as well yet. Lena knows everyone's name: mama, papa, dub, lena, without hints. Dub knows Mama, Papa, and if you point at her, Lena, but he doesn't quite get his own nickname yet, Dub.

After lunch and a short nap, at 230 we went to the Taraz historical Museum - very interesting, with English speaking guide. Taraz used to be a major stop on the "the great silk road" of ancient times.

- Afternoon visit with D&L was great. Here are several family photos of the other adopting families that are here with us, the Morins from Virginia (via Italy) and the Millers from Florida. We introduced peanut butter to Dub & Lena by way of simple packaged peanut butter crackers. They loved them. Lena, as we would expect because she is JUST like her mommy, spent 15 minutes licking the peanut butter off of the cracker before she would eat the cracker. Dub crunched his down in no time at all.

Lots of pictures below. Please pray for the judge to waive the 15 day waiting period, and for smooth transitions for the flights home.

Blessings,
Angel & Kevin
