Liam is on the move

Today our power went out for a little while. It seems to be happening more frequently. It did not stay off for long, maybe a half hour. Yesterday, we had no heat and hot water during the day. They eventually came back on last night. Just little reminders we are not home anymore.

Our visit with Liam was great. He crawled a little bit today. Besides rolling everywhere, he now moves himself sidways and can push with his feet to make himself move forward. He is still a little uncoordinated, but it won't be long before he is getting around easily. It is unbelievable how far he has come in 2 weeks. We do have toys for Liam to play with and he does have his favorite ring and teething toy, but today he was far more interested in the wipes package. It is bigger than most of the toys we brought and it makes a lot of different noises when you touch it. He thought it was great. He definitely tired himself out with all his moving around today and fell asleep for the last 15 minutes of our visit.

After our visit, we went to the museum to visit the second floor. The last time we were there, we could not go upstairs. The upstairs was very interesting. Alot of information on the history of this area and on the wars fought here. But my favorite room had a Yurt in it. I have been dying to see one and now we have. It's basically a glorified tent, but the inside was beautiful. Loved all the colorful carpets hanging.

We have been watching CNN and BBC on the TV since we got here. We have satellite TV, but it is all in Russian. Keith figured out how to change the language settings on some of the channels so we can now watch reruns of Miami Ink in Kaz. Very Exciting.

Tomorrow, we have our meeting to prepare for pre court. Everyday, we get a little closer to the grand prize.
