Wednesday

Sorry I didn't have that many pics to post below. We were going to video today but forgot the camera so tomorrow we will hopefully have video to post.

We slept for 13 hours last night, I don't think I have done that since high school! I'm glad I finally got some sleep, though, all of the other night I had been waking up at 3 a.m. and not going back to sleep.

We went to the grocery store today, it was interesting. We didn't get to much. Tomorrow I am going to go to some fruit/vegetable stands because I'm going to make some soup tomorrow night.

Tonight Hudson said cup, well, we were saying cup and he was saying "up". He's really trying. I cannot wait to have him with us all of the time. He is so active now, I'm sure he's going to be into everything at home.

A few random things...
*Russian women are very talented- they walk down the street wearing 10 inch heels, smoke a cigarette (maybe that's why they don't have a long life span) , talk on the phone, and hold shopping bags all at the same time. I couldn't even chew gum and walk in those heels at the same time. Okay, I couldn't walk in those heels with people holding my hands on both sides.

*If you're adopting from Moscow try to figure out the Metro, it's saving us over $2,000 to use the Metro. It will freak you out the first few times but if we can do it so can you. A driver costs $100 per day and the Meto costs us not even $2 per day.

*Thank God I'm a country girl!

*Playing basketball for Phil Carr has helped me to get around in Moscow! How? Because these people are pushy and can be rude. After a few days of trying to smile at people and say excuse me and sorry- it gets you no where! You just have to root your way in there with them. Even the old women will move you out of their way! But they didn't call me bruiser for nothing! I can hang with these Russian's-thanks Coach Carr.

*So if you're planning to come to Moscow let me know and we can play some basketball before you leave. I'll teach you how to throw some elbows and push people around then you'll be ready for Moscow. And now you're thinking, how will Lindsey be able to play basketball without passing out? Because we're walking well over 3-4 miles per day. That's why all of these Russians are skinny!

Okay, I'll quit rambling. But one more thing...my second favorite thing to do (seeing Hudson is my first :), is turn the computer on and read all of your comforting comments. I love them. Thanks so much. I tear up everytime I turn the computer on! We love you all!
