Another Muddy Day
It was raining again this morning making even more mud. Our driver even decided today not to take the dirt road and park in the location that the orphanage director asked him to park, but to take the paved road to the front of the orphanage. It was a good move. I was worried I was going to have to help push out a stuck car.
Our visit with LG went well. We went to a couple of bookstores looking for books that are in both Russian and English. We were only able to find one and it is about opposites. The book is actually written in English, Russian, and Kazakh. LG doesn't speak Kazakh, but she does know some words in that language.
We had pizza at our favorite place again today. LG usually doesn't eat much. We've been giving her daily vitamins and we hope that is helping. I think she is going to be undersized for her age when she arrives in the U.S. I know she's under weight.
Last night we borrowed a movie from one of our American neighbors here in the hotel. We made the mistake of watching "Elf" and now Jo Ann is bummed out that we are running out of time for Christmas. We haven't really seen any indication that Christmas is approaching over here, but a lot of the banner ads we see when we're using Hotmail are now Christmas related.
