DAY #8 - Checking out Kras



Hello Everybody - Thanks very much for all the kind words. We love reading them every night before we go the bed. The next 10 days we get to visit Sergei for a couple hours in the afternoon. (except weekends) Today before our visit we explored the city of Krasnoyarsk. The city is very big with a lot of old soviet looking buildings. We found a grocery store, a Subway sub shop, a "Kentucky Fried Chicken", and a very nice children's store. I attached a picture of one of the interesting items at the grocery store. The visit with Sergei today was great. We got to take him outside and we no longer have anyone watching us. We had him laughing and babbling. I also found a toy hockey stick and he showed me a few of his moves. He also recongized Marcie as his "ma-ma". It is sad to leave him after the visit, but everyday we get closer to bringing him home.

Love - Marcie and Rick

HI Rick and Marcie! What a cute little boy you have. He's going to fit right in for next year's reunion with that striped shirt and checked pants! He's precious! I'm sure it's difficult to leave him in the afternoons, but it sounds as if you are enjoying a bit of sight-seeing when you can. Before you know it, you'll all be back home with the goats, the ducks, and the all the crazy relatives waiting to teach Sergei our silly ways! Take care! Theresa
