Hi Everyone - Hope you are all staying warm. Here's what has been happening in our part of the world lately.
On Saturday, Jan 24th we went to Grandma Judy and Grandpa Al's house for the weekend. Mommy and daddy attended a banquet in mommy's home town that honored the her family (the Sand family). We stayed with mommy's cousin Taylor while they enjoyed a night out. They had some good stories to share about the night like the sad one of how the Police Dept honored three people that helped to save her cousin's life after an ATV accident. The whole room was crying due to the incredible kindness and quick thinking that these folks had. The funny story of the night was when mommy's uncle Jim burned a hole in his nice suit while accepting an award in the front of the room...candles can be dangerous. I think Great Grandma Betty loved having most of her family there for the night including nearly all of her grandchild (mommy and her cousins). It was a huge deal to get a family photo of the whole bunch.

Cameron has been very interested in playing card games lately. Mommy says he is a card shark. He loves UNO, solitaire, golf, war, and now Rat-tat-cat.
Kyle is in love with Dora and has to read his Dora books from the library at least three time a day. He also loves Winnie the Pooh now. He is really into putting together puzzles and learning things like his colors, shapes, letters, and numbers.
We enjoyed watching the Super Bowl game this past weekend. We wanted Arizona to win but it was a good game by both teams. Mommy made her first attempt at making Korean food for the big game. She made Bulgogi (really yummy steak that you wrap in lettuce), Jap Chae (Sweet Potato Noodle Veggie Stir Fry) and Pa Jon (Scallion Pancakes). It was all very good. Kyle loved the Bulgogi, Cameron's favorite was the Jap Chae and mommy and daddy loved it all. The photos are of us that night at dinner.
An update on the adoption. We checked our placement on the list today. There hasn't been much movement over the past two months. It was way less than what mommy thought. We only moved up one spot to number 46. The list is a weird thing that we don't really understand but just have to have faith in that things will happen when they are suppose to happen and this is all out of our control. Adoption is a total leap of faith.

Hi Robin and Mike,
YOur boys are so cute. the Korean food sounds good--it is great that the boys liked it too.
too bad about the movement on the list but hopefully it will start going faster.
I sent in my dossier part 1 today and I should be registerd in Russia by the end of the month.
My region is Krasnoyarsk--in Siberia! good thing I got used to the cold this winter.
