Getting our Groove Back

Oh, this should have been a really bad day!  After an ill-advised 7pm coffee at the (very fun) hockey game, I could NOT sleep last night.  I was still staring at the clock well after 4:00am, obsessing about all the little things that *could* go wrong today but didn't.  Victor is back for a few hours, Curt now has his documents for the US Embassy ready to go, my ATM card finally works, I paid my rent for the week, Curt has a ride from the airport to the apartment on Saturday, they boys have been agreeable today, AND, we officially got our court date: November 22 at 1:00.  Thanksgiving Day.  Let's hope we will have a BIG reason to be thankful this year!

This has been such a fun day.  In case it's not obvious, I really like Anya.  So do the boys.  We're all going to miss her terribly when we leave.  The four of us had a blast at a restaurant called Tabasco.  They try really hard to do American food.  The restaurant looks sort of like a Logan's Roadhouse, with Western decor and John Wayne movies playing.  There's even a guy dressed up as a cowboy, ushering you in the door.  Speaking Russian.  :)

Earlier in the day, Victor brought Christian Pilet and his new daughter Rose (Ola) over to do some paperwork and to visit.  The Pilets will be on their way out soon--I wish we'd been able to spend more time with them.

I have some great pics to share today.

Getting warmed up for this Oklahoma cowboy thing

Isaac sure does adore Anya!
