Such a Day...

My day began at 4:30 a.m. couldn't sleep any longer. Brayden was up at 5:30 couldn't sleep any longer. So we have both been up the whole day. Our luck didn't hold out for Braxton though, or poor baby was still sick today. I did get to go look in on him, just touch his cheek and talk to him a little. They said that he cried for 30 min after we left him yest. I find that hard to believe, but we have to take their word and go with that. He was laying in his crib covered up and had his finger in his mouth, he felt warm to my touch, but not hot. Anyway, he isn't well that is obvious. After my quick check in with him Ludmilla took us to the Monastary there in Pechory. I took some great pics of it, some video too. It was neat to walk through it. We tried their holy water out of a very deep well, don't know how smart that was...but we aren't sick yet, so it might be ok. :-) We leave in the morning at 8 a.m. to head back to St Pete. Our driver will take us to Tamara's house, so we don't have to find our own way. Makes it easier. We do have to shuffle the luggage a bit tonight as we don't have to take it all to St Pete, we can leave some here with Jill. Especially Braxton's stuff, we don't need to be dragging it everywhere. We will see some sights in St Pete and have some time with special friends till the 20th, then we will hop a train and come back here. We get in about midnight on the 20th and we go get Braxton on Monday. Now, I am really looking forward to that Monday. But have to get to the rest of the 8 days first. :-) I know there is so much neat stuff to see in St Pete. We have found it a challenge to sight see with two toddler legs along. He is often not interested in what we are looking at and is always wanting to go back to the motel. Course today especially he is tired having been up for 12 hours straight he is doing pretty well. Now back in the room he is perfectly happy reading his book. Hope we can get on the right schedule while in St Pete, have to get started somewhere. Will let this do for now. No pics of Braxton today, didn't waste my two minutes with a camera.
