The Weekend

Well, we had a good weekend despite not being able to see Roman. I slept in both days which was really nice! I figure what else is there to do in Siberia with no children around?? :)

On Saturday we Skyped a while with family which was nice. It's wonderful to be able to see Kate on the webcam - she's such a cutie! Then we had lunch here at the apartment, read a while, then went to the Russian ballet that night. It was interesting....and it really would have helped to understand the story line! Ha! But, it was something to do that got us out and about, so that was good. We stopped and had some pizza at the pizza place on the way home.

On Sunday we relaxed that morning, skyped again, then went to lunch at Traveler's. We had some really good sandwiches....the most Americanized meal so far (besides the pizza). It was funny, b/c the girls that work there know these weird Americans are coming in almost every day and I always order a mocha. Well, I didn't even order one this time, and she brought one to the table. oh well - it was good! After lunch we walked around and took pictures of the town and streetscapes. We came back to the apt. for a while and I read while Wes worked on his Quickbooks. Then, we went to the grocery store to pick up something to cook for dinner. While we were there we saw our facilitators! It was like seeing an old friend - it was great! ha! They said that the couple that was supposed to be coming in today for their first visit couldn't get here due to the ash cloud that's causing so many flight problems. So, instead of taking us to the orphanage early, we are leaving around the "normal" time of 11:00.

Can't wait to see Roman today :) After today, only 3 whole days without him. We get to pick him up on Friday!!!!
