Flying Frisbees

Ben is improving his skills at throwing and catching the frisbee.  We think Irina, our interpreter has just as much fun as the rest of us!  

A babushka was watching as we played and every time Ben caught it she would smile and say, "maladets!" which means basically, "great job."

Ben was bug-eyed as he had his first taxi ride today.  (He has never ridden in a car before, only public transport.)  We drove to the photo place where Ben had his passport photo taken.  He did a great job as the photographer was telling him to straighten up, turn slightly left, no right, now up....  

Tomorrow we will go to a mall to find Ben some regular shirts.  Then, Zhenya, our beloved coordinator will accompany us to see Ben.  Zhenya has a great command of the English language and will begin preparing Ben for coming home with us to the States.  

This Tuesday marks the end of the 10 day required waiting period and Ben will officially be ours!   Next week promises to be busier with trips to the notary, passport office and such.  

Be well, everyone!
