Today was another good day with Nick. He slept all night.... went to bed at 10pm and woke up at 9:30 this morning (actually 8:30 as Russia went to Daylight Savings Time overnight). This works out quite well for Jon and I (and Nat)....considering we all love our sleep.
We hung out this morning and played. Nothing too exciting.
The weather is getting warmer and the snow has completely melted. We walked to our little market this afternoon and purchased our last few items for our stay here. Then walked to the beach and saw the ocean. Interesting that there were piles of snow at the edge of the beach/water and also some frozen areas in the ocean itself. Something that we've never seen, so we experienced something new with Nick too. We also saw a train on our walk and it fascinated Nick. We occasionally forget that almost everything is "new" to him as he stares in amazement at the people and all of the activity around him.
Jon was (and is) going stir crazy....not a lot to do in Vlad. Definitely looking forward to staying in downtown Moscow.....near the Kremlin and Red Square. Getting out and seeing sights will be great. We saw the weather will be in the 50s which will be great too. We leave here at 1:30 on Tuesday afternoon (9:30 Monday night in Chicago) for our 8 hour flight. We then fly home on Monday 4/7 -- through Atlanta -- and arrive at O'Hare around 8pm. We are both definitely looking forward to getting home. And bonus -- 8 days early! Jon's also pumped because he says we should get home for part of the second half of the men's college basketball national championship game (oh yippee!) He has definitely missed the tournament this year but has kept up on the internet.
Some pics from today......

Thanks again to all of you for your well wishes. Nick is a great kid and we're having a great time but enjoy the responses and hearing from all of you. It helps keep us updated on the activities in the U.S. (I miss the phone -- and Jon misses his texting!!)
Take care.
Love,
Beck, Jon and Nick

Oh, my God, how exciting! We have been checking the blog everyday from Missouri but now we are home and can actually reply. We have teared up with each new entry we have read. We can't wait for you guys to get home and we cannot wait to meet Nick. Won't he be excited to learn that Miss Lori and Mr. Tom love to take the kids out for ice cream!
Lots of Love-

So you think you miss home...let me give you a quick update. The end of March, new green grass is growing, rainbows, birds chirping...NOT... It has been cold, gloomy and wet (even some snow) while you have been gone. (probably sounds like Russia)I hope that you will bring a bit of sunshine and some warmth with you on your return. Safe travels.
