Day Two with Drey

Things continue to get better and better with Drey. Eating, sleeping, playing, communicating and bathing all went so much easier today. Oleg and Sveta were amazed to hear how much progress he has made. Todd and Oleg went to pick up his birth certificate and apply for his passport. They should be ready on Thursday. We stayed here at the apartment with the exception of a walk with Drey. We were able to complete all of our laundry today so it can dry. We packed up everything else. Tomorrow, we plan to go back to the mall. There are some playplaces for Drey. We all have our eyes set on coming home as soon as possible. One little inconvenience we are dealing with is no hot water. It appears there is centralized hot water in Krasnoyarsk and they are making some updates. Therefore, we have not hot water. We have been heating water on the stove for bath and dishes. It just adds a little more appreciation for home as if we needed any.

They released Jennifer from the hospital and then get to head out tomorrow. We sure wish we were going with them.

  2. I'm glad to hear that Todd has Oleg to help him with the birth certificate and passport. I can only imagine the bureaucracy.
    Hannah should enjoy her day at the mall.
    Mary & I are looking forward to our visit from Addie during basketball camp.
    Laura is going to turn back into a mermaid if she doesn't maintain her nice, warm, daily shower.
