Happy Tuesday! Today was a fun day here in Kazakhstan. One of our translators spent the morning session putting the finishing touches on our album which will be presented to the court and to the Ministry of Education. Our album consisted of our pictures and comments on Gabriel’s progress during the 15 day bonding period. Gabriel was just a joy today. During the morning session, he ate and enjoyed his new porridge. He complained maybe once or twice, but he was satisfied. Afterwards, Gabriel and I walked around for some burp time. I’ve noticed that as of late, he hasn’t been spitting up as much as he has, and he’s keeping down his food. This is such a positive step forward. If you look at his face, his cheeks seem to be getting a little bit chubby and he feels like he’s gaining weight. Gabriel seems to finally be hitting his stride. Just think, once he gets home he is really going to bloom.
After completeing our bonding sessions for the day, our translator took us out for some fun…to the local bowling alley. We first hit the café at the alley, pizza and beer. The beer was incredibly priced, kind of like a happy hour and the pizza as well. After that, we hit the lanes and bowled. It was a lot of fun and it was interesting to see the locals kicking back and relaxing.

Hello All, Gen here! I think my husband has done an incredible job with blogging. Who would’ve guessed that the same guy that drives like he’s the king of the road on the Jersey Turnpike had a sensitive side? I wanted everyone to know that I do edit, and from time to time, censor his blogs. Which brings me to my point on today’s blog…Joel failed to mention that I beat him in bowling, again. I guess it doesn’t matter on which side of the world he bowls; Joel just can’t seem to find his stride anywhere!! This means that I’ll have to be the one to teach Gabriel how to bowl…hehehe
Da svidaniya! (Good-Bye)
