It's Friday Night!

There's not much to report from Moscow.  Yesterday we went to Arbat St. which is a pedestrian only street.  It has all the shopping and restaurants you need on it including a Hard Rock Cafe, which is where we ate dinner. Lexi actually took a decent nap and went to bed pretty well.  She is still waking up in the night crying and squirming around.  We can't quite figure out what that's about.  It's hard when you don't know what's normal for her or if its something new that we need to worry about.  She is also waking up about 4:30am.  She hasn't quite adjusted to the time change.  Today we wandered around some more before heading to the US Embassy.  It was nice to be on American soil for a little while plus everyone there spoke English!!  We had to do a short interview and then they gave us her visa for her Russian passport.  Now we're back at the apartment just hanging out.  It's raining so Clay will be getting take out from somewhere :)  It's supposed to rain all weekend, so that could make for a long couple of days.  Lexi really prefers to be outside.  She gets so excited at the pigeons and has this new little bark sound when she sees a dog.

Miss you guys! Still praying for you and will specifically pray for the night crying/squirming. Hey, I'm still praying for everything to be worked out with the Bethany people, so if there are any updates let me know. Please let me know if your mom and dad need help with the boys when they get here - I wasn't sure if your mom could fly, etc. So if you need someone to watch the boys, we can pitch in wherever you need us.
