Warning - no photos :(

We killed my battery this morning showing little N-M some of Brother Bear on my computer so I'm stuck photo-less. Tomorrow!

When we headed this way we were expecting a 7-10 day wait for court but upon arrival (and the whole time up until Wed) we were told 5 days max. Well, our court date is Aug 26 which means that our wait will be the full 10 days. Oh well. In the meantime we'll keep visiting with our little kiddo and seeing all of the sights around Semey! Clint is going to the Russian bath tonight with our driver and his son. Pasha kept trying to get Matt to go but he wasn't having any of it! Tomorrow I'll let you know how it went!!

Little N-M's vocabulary is really growing now. He calls us all by name and says things like cookie, more, please, dvd :), and many others. He also is really imitating a lot of things - time to be very careful! It's also very interesting to watch him and try to figure out what he did during his year our of the baby house. He saw a video of us walking into a store here (magazine) and he jumped around screaming "magazine, magazine". He has also gone to places with soda fountains because he fills up his cup at the wall. Kinda funny.

Anyway, we would love to see comments from you all - we miss everyone and really, really want to hear from you. We are going a little crazy! Matt's visa runs out on the 30th of this month so please pray that we don't have court delayed for any reason and that we're able to find flights out of here quickly after. If all goes well we'll be home around Sept 1 or 2 and head back to get little N-M in early November. This wait seems terribly long but I'm sure we'll at least be busy.

Love you guys!!
