Three days left
Or maybe three and a half if you count airplane day because it's a really long day.
Yesterday we filed with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, which notes Andrei as an internationally adopted child with Russia's government. Marina tried to get them to do it all in one day, but they said no, so we have to wait until Monday, which is what we were expecting, but it still would have been nice.
They have Andrei's passport, so unfortunately we can't just leave anyway.
Today, Saturday was absolutely nothing special. It's getting colder out so our walk to the grocery store was especially bitter. Brent and Andrei played in the snow, but Andrei's gloves kind of froze so he had to wear papa's gloves. This was because Brent LOST one of Andrei's nice mittens in a church, so we had to buy cheapy gloves at the grocery store which do no good whatsoever. Although I shouldn't yell because I also lost my gloves, I think in Dima's van.
Nothing interesting to write, and boy am I glad about that!
I am really looking forward to getting back to normal life. I told Brent that I really do not mind this small apartment, but it bothers me that there is no place for things - everything is just piled up around and we still have suitcases in the middle of the floor. If I could make it 'mine' it would be better.
I'm looking forward to not having to buy water in jugs.
I'm looking forward to letting Andrei make noise and be a kid.
I'm looking forward to having a bigger bed again, and hopefully Andrei feeling comfortable enough to sleep in his bed.
I'm especially looking forward to never, ever seeing Cartoon Network or Nickelodean ever again for the rest of my life.
Brent said he misses his PS3.

I ABHOR living out of a suitcase. I can't even express how much I hate it. It makes my mind as jumbled as the suitcase gets the longer I have to do it! I can't even imagine doing it for as long as you have.
By the time you get home, you'll think of Wisconsin's weather as mild and pleasant. :)
That's funny that you say that about Wisconsin weather, because they have been having weekly snowstorms and here there is no snow at all.
It's been around 30 degrees the whole time we've been here and I think much colder back home.
I just feel sorry for the Texas family.
