Saturday, May 27, 2006
Today was a pretty good day. We had breakfast then went shopping and bought some DVD Russian cartoons for the children to watch when we get them home. Sorry, no subtitles. We had lamb kebab and salmon for lunch at the Slovenian Restaurant and it was quite tasty. After lunch we went earlier than usual to Arkhangelskaya and hung out with Rinat and Zarina, playing Hearts, Yahtzee, and Leapster. We went early because when arranged to go see Sholpan in the hospital. She was very glad to see us and we were delighted to see her and to see that she is now much improved. She no longer has fever. She is sleeping better. She still has a cough but it is probably not as bad as the coughing we heard back at the village.
We may get to see Sholpan again tomorrow. We will send her some more clothes as well as her dress for court on Monday. We will get to see Rinat and Zarina for a longer period of time tomorrow as we have court at 10 am Monday and will not have much time to visit with them after court because we have a plane to catch in Astana. Tune in tomorrow for the final entry. We won’t be able to blog again after court until we are back in Virginia Tuesday night. Thanks again for all your prayers and encouragement over the past few weeks.

It's good to hear that Sholpan is getting better, and that court won't be delayed. We hope that everythng goes well, and that the children aren't too nervous, as speaking in court must be a big deal for them. They are at a good age to understand the going away and coming back process. You'll be at home for Noah's birthday; first week of June if I remember correctly?
We've really enjoyed following your blog. Both writing and photos are excellent, and there's some comedy thrown in for good measure! Thank you again for the two CDs you made for us two years ago.We've* been looking at them again over the last few days, and reliving the pre-court nerves; hope they get less third time round.
When I say we I really mean I. Jack has a new monitoring role with a global fast-food operation (which shall remain nameless!) and it keeps him really busy....

Well, you can say what you like about Ireland, but at least we don't:
Decorate our halls with deer skeletons (we keep them in our closets)
or
Dress our squirrels in french maid outfits (even if you de-nut them first it just doesn't seem right, and can lead to more skeletons in closets)
top o' the mornin' to y'all!
