Our last visit...

There was no blog entry yesterday because due to the weather, we watched movies all day and only left our apartment for an hour to take a walk (between rain showers). Today, the apartment cleaning crew showed up at lunch time so we decided to step out and try some popular Russian fast food. The restaurant is called Teremok and they make what is called a Blini - which is a Russian pancake sandwhich. The menu consists of several choices to have in your blini (caviar, pork and sauerkraut, bananas and chocolate...just to name a few) as well as soups and salads. We both ordered ham and cheese - it was like eating a ham and cheese sandwhich but instead of bread, it was on a very thin pancake (similar to a crepe)...strange but not bad :)



Due to the weather today, we were able to have our very last orphanage visit indoors (which we were very pleased about). He seemed to be in a good mood and we were able to interact and play more than if we were outside. He was being silly and it seemed like he was doing things on purpose to get a laughing reaction out of us and that was really cute. From the room we were in, we could smell dinner being prepared and toward the end of the visit he kept crawling to the door because he knew it was almost time to eat - typical male, always concerned about meal time :)

We made plans with Alec to visit Peterhof on Sunday. We are hoping for a nice day and that the fountains will be on (but they might not be started until May). We also spoke to Natasha today got the details for Tuesday - the day we get to pick up our little guy!
