Hi everybody! Sorry about the short post yesterday. We had Rachel and Ryan over for dinner. We had chicken from the chicken shack, salad and potatoes. We will have to take a picture of the chicken shack for all of you to see. It is basically a small shack on the main road here that has rotisserie chicken being cooked in it. It is the best meal we can get here. The first time we went there, the woman inside the chicken shack was trying to understand us with not much luck so finally she started flapping her arms like a chicken and we were all hysterical laughing. Now she knows us. I'm sure we have made quite an impression on the people of Kazakhstan or at least given them a good laugh. We have 10 days to go untill we get custody of Christopher and we can't wait. Each day he seems to grow more and more attached to us which is a great feeling. The ride to the baby house is getting worse. Everyday it changes. The past 2 days it has been raining and only 50 degrees. The rain of course does not help the ride. We are counting down the days untill we come home. We can't wait. In 2 weeks we leave Kokshetau for Almaty and then home from there after a few days.
