Today's visit to J was an absolute joy : ) The other family from the US was with us again today, and they and their 6-year-old provided lots of distraction for Ms. J. She had lots of tummy time (which they don't normally get), even turning to me once and spontaneously smiling at me when I greeted her. (yes, I got it on video : )
We had a nice surprise at the hotel this afternoon. They found out that we celebrate Christmas and had been greeting us with "Merry Christmas" all day. About mid afternoon, two members of the staff brought up a Christmas card (with a nice note in English), along with a plate full of fruit, champagne and two glasses. So very nice!
I suspect that Zhaniya was behind their knowledge of our big holiday, as she also arranged a very nice Christmas Eve. dinner at the hotel of several traditional Kazak dishes. MMMMM. Very yummy. Zhaniya and Anara, along with the other US family, plus Mom and I had a leisurely celebration. Very nice for us, being so far from home. What a very thoughtful thing to do!
Mom got another great "present" today. She has permission to visit the Baby House again tomorrow as it's our last day. So much fun, for all 3 of us to get another special day together : )

We all can't get over how cute J is and how wonderful you two look together! (we, meaning Katie, Joel, Jen, Richard, Becky, Dianne, Karen T. and others--all of central CA is watching!)
Enjoy the time left, and give your sweetie an extra squeeze from us!
