Well I woke this morning with a little stomach problem, not sure what caused it, but don't like it very much. We want to take Berik for a ride on his sled that Santa brought for him, as we have lots of snow on the ground. Berik woke this morning in a good mood, and has been giggling pretty much all day until it's feeding time then he is a whole different kid. When they are in the orphanage they feel like if they don't get what they have coming then they will not get anything to eat, so when they do eat it's a free for all. We are working on this, and he is becoming less aggitated, but it will take more time. Gena said that he was watching the birds fly outside our window, and when they flew up to the roof, he would try to follow them and just about got whiplash. He is too funny, he finds the most joy in his feet and toes. We took a few photos during potty time this morning, which is when he is comical as well.
Sometimes it's a little overwhelming that we have a small child in our household, as it has been such a long time since we have had to take care of a small child. The skills are still there though, I guess you never lose them. All we know for sure is that we love him, and are cherishing every minute we have with him. Today we went out with the other families to eat lunch and then go to the notary, and of course this would be Berik's first time out to eat lunch, so we bundled him up in his snow suit and off we went to eat. In case anyone doesn't know it they don't charge extra for letting your child sleep in the window sill.
It was also his first time in a high chair, he was very good and was very pleasant during the meal, it was a great outing for him, he also got to feel the snow landing on his face while we walked around outside a little.

Hey there,
Sorry to hear Gena's been sick. It certainly isn't any fun to be sick at any time, but esp. in a foreign land. Yuck!! Hope you're doing better. What's with that toilet? I'd hate to be the maid around there! I bet you two can hardly wait to get back to Texas where it's a little warmer. I know I can hardly wait to meet the new little one in your lives. Take care.
Love, Kristy

I am so glad ya'll have included us in your great adventure! The blogs are awesome! Hope all the icky sickness is gone! Can't wait until ya'll are home so we can see his cute chubby cheeks in person! :)
