• Today is the second anniversary of Dmitry's adoption day! 

  For his celebratory dinner he chose Wan Fu's Chinese restaurant. 
  He loves chicken Lo Mein (carefully saved half of it to take to school
  tomorrow for lunch; cold Lo Mein wouldn't be my idea of a tasty lunch,
  but oh well) and hot tea.  Asked what he likes best about America
  (outside of family), he immediately answered "Video games!" 

  Asked what he misses most about Russia (again, excepting Svetlana), he said snow. 

  

  Snagged the waitress to snap a photo of us.  ;^)

  This morning the parents-to-be of Viktor and Vladimir came over
  (unfortunately Don and I had to leave for church so couldn't see them)
  and they called the orphanage in Ryazan, with Dmitry to act as
  translator.  He said it went pretty well, once they were able to
  get the woman who answered to grasp which Viktor they wanted (that is
  an extremely common name over there, so most orphanages have at least a
  few).  They brought Dmitry a Snickers bar, which pleased him a
  lot. 

  He'd do more than THAT for a Snickers bar. 

  P.S. I have no idea why there are three photos missing in the posts
  down there. It's puzzling.  Hope this one doesn't inexplicably
  disappear, too.
