Appointment with Russian pediatrician


Figure this, we flew out of Omsk at 7pm and arrived in Moscow at 7pm. The three hour time difference means we are now only 8 hours ahead of North Carolina time. Hopefully this will ease some of the effects of jet lag once we arrive home.
We are staying at the Grand Marriott which is much nicer than our hotel was in Omsk. The Kremlin and Red Square are only a 15 minute walk from our hotel.
The pediatrician came by our hotel room at 7am this morning to give Ethan a physical. He said Ethan seems very healthy but is undersized for his age. He is 5Lbs pounds under the chart as he weighed only 18Lbs. He referred to Ethan as "just a little peanut".
Tomorrow we are headed to the U.S. Embassy for the purpose of securing his Visa.
Mom, if your reading this, which I know you are, please check your email ASAP. Thanks!

I received your Email today regarding the tax return copies you need. I will check with Susie tomorrow and we will get them from the accountant and Email them to you.

Your Dad and I want you two to be sure and enjoy your stay in Moscow and to take advantage of being there. Please travel around and do the things tourist do that you can manage with baby Ethan in your free time.

Russian people are known to be musically talented. I see you've given Ethan a start by introducing him to the piano. Maybe he'll be our little musician. Steven would like that.

Big Reg continues to improve each day. He has not had any pain since the second day after surgery. He was in a lot of pain before surgery so I know he is enjoying being pain free even though he is restricted in his movements. I think he is enjoying the attention and all the love his family is showing him.

You all be safe and take good care of yourselves and our little "Peanut". We love you much!
