Yesterday we went for a walk in the a.m. did a bit of shopping and found a new market. They have a ton of prepared food and it all looks delicious - I told Kurt that I intend to try at least a few things while he's back in the states. He says that by the time he gets back Serik and I will be two bowling balls - hee, hee. We definitely have not done the 'go to Kaz' diet that other families have experienced - we've been eating like it's Thanksgiving or Christmas - and you all know how much peope eat between Nov and Jan.

Yesterday's visit was a bit harder for the little guy. He was excited as always to see us but is definitely under the weather: runny nose, sneezing and so warm (although that could be because they bundle them up so much). He was happiest when he was getting his diaper changed (as always) and was at least partly naked. We signed more paperwork today - this time to request visas for the babies and we went over the gifts for court. We've been working on our speech and it should go smoothly. Hard to believe that less than 24 hours from now we'll know the judge's decision! Keep us in your thoughts!
