Today marks the completion of our third week on the road and we feel it. For the hundredth time I will say that I can't wait to go home. I am dreading the plane flight, but we'll be ok.
Because Nick was up a bit late last night we were hoping he would sleep till 7am. No way, 5:45 rolls around and he's tossing and flopping around, babbling and not sleeping. This was a short night for him so I thought I'd try something new, change his diaper and then try to get him back to sleep. It almost worked but he was not going to go to sleep in the crib so we brought him into bed. He's getting better about being in bed and this morning actually fell asleep for 10 - 15 minutes, progress I think.
We needed some more of the organic baby food for the remainder of the trip so after breakfast and a 2 hour morning nap we went out to the fancy grocery in the basement of Lotte Plaza. I love this store, its just really expensive. The checkout ladies were playing with Nick and trying to make him laugh, of course he loves the attention. Once we're home we'll try to avoid the store for a while.
Our afternoon was fairly standard, although Nick was a cranky little guy. We couldn't figure out what his issue was. Some how we kept him occupied and played until about 3 when he had a snack and then another 2 hour nap. Maybe he was just really tired today.
After his nap Nick seemed pretty cranky again. We debated whether we should actually leave for dinner or just stay in. We thought it would be better to take him out again, but stayed close to home and went to TGI Fridays. It went ok. Nick was craning his neck trying to see the people sitting behind us, which was kind of funny at first, but very annoying after a while. Bill let him taste his french fries and that kept his attention on us for a while even when Nicks own food couldn't. The wait staff was greatt they brought us a highchair, a balloon for Nick, a Russian version of a Kinder Egg (which of course Nick can't have yet), and were generally very accomodating and nice to us and Nick.
Nick seemed to have a better disposition after dinner and enjoyed playing with the balloon they gave us, and with the play cell phone, especially while Bill was on the phone with our translator.
So thats about it for today. Nothing too exciting. The most exciting thing to me is that we have one more day and then we fly out.
Hope everyone at home is doing great, see you soon!

Hey!
We survived the flight! Currently, in Atlanta waiting for the flight to Houston. Nick is such a little doll, and you guys were just beaming as new parents. We sure enjoyed getting to meet you guys and thanks for indulging us with another dinner at gogul mogul!
All the best
Dinia and ron
Nick is so adorable. You both seem so happy & proud! I am so excited that he has joined our family. We are all so lucky! I know it's been a long trip and the journey home will seem long, but it's all worth it and you'll soon be back in Richmond with Nick (and Abby, of course) - Happy Family! Let us know that you've traveled home safely.
Lots of love and hugs,
Dan & Mary (proud Uncle & Aunt)
