We got up this morning and saved some snapshots of video of our son on Tim's IPod. How cool is that? He clipped the parts where he is laughing with us. It will be so wonderful to have this video as we count the days until we can hold and cuddle him again, and claim him as our own.
We had a huge breakfast at the buffet downstairs and prepared for our excursion out today. It was raining quite steadily in the am, so we were very grateful when it stopped before 11.
We went to the front desk to see if our papers were in yet. In Russia, you have to be registered in whatever area you travel in. The hotel, fortunately, can take care of this for you. Otherwise, you'd have to visit the consulate to register yourself. Unfortunately, they just changed the policy, and now it takes a day to do this, so we'll check back later. This paperwork must be with you at all times in case you are stopped by the police. We certainly take our land of Liberty for granted. The police checked Vladimir's papers before letting us leave the airport yesterday morning. I was so thankful that it was just a check!
As we were standing in the lobby, we saw a woman come in. She approached us and said hello that she was Anna. She seemed very pleasant, showing us pictures of her son and asking about ours. We were able to show her the video, with the precious footing of him laughing. She wasn't able to hear the sound- but she could see his laughing face :)
