Cold day in Kaz

Today, we went across the street to Ex Foto to get our pictures developed for court. We needed a head shot, profile shot, full body shot and then a family shot along with some pictures of our house and Liam's room. The Uralsk court no longer requires daily pictures from your visits. We signed alot of paper work and tomorrow or Wednesday(not sure) they will petition the court. Hopefully, we will have pre court this week and then at pre court they will assign a court date. Yeah!!!!

We went to the Bakery for lunch and got our favorite potato and cheese dish. Tracey, Ian and Rachel all got the same. It is sooo delicious. There is one girl who speaks a little English; so she usually helps us. Rachel also tried the cabbage stuffed with beef, which she said was good and we bought an apple crepe, which was ok. Love having the bakery in walking distance.

Today it was freezing and windy. It was one of the coldest days so far that we have been here. Also, there is just ice on the sidewalks. There is not that much cruncy snow on top anymore. The snow made walking around a little easier. Now, you just slip your way around.

I forgot to mention something interesting the other day. When Keith bought the flowers for Valentine's day, he asked for an even amount of flowers. The florist shook her head no and he thought she did not understand him so he repeated the number again. Still, she shook her head no. Olga then translated that you only buy flowers in even numbers for a grave site. You purchase flowers in odd numbers for happy occasions. Who knew.

Liam was a little out of sorts today. I think he might have had a stomach ache or he was just a little tired. He kept wiggling and then he fell asleep in my arms. He woke up about 10 minutes before the end of our visit and was happy and smiley. He just needed a little power nap. A new thing we noticed Liam likes to do now is touch our face with his hands or his own face. He likes our faces to be touching and he will stay like that for a while. He is just tooo cute. We just love him. Can't wait til we can bring him home!!!!

Out wearing our new hats we bought at the Bazaar.

Just snuggling Dad's face

Out like a light, but still holding his toy.

Odd number of flowers in our "fancy" vase.
