I'm in UB and we have had a good trip so far. Yesterday we took my friends son to the airport. I got home and laid down with the kids to help them fall asleep in a new bed and house and I fell asleep too. We all slept from 8pm-6:30 with a few wakes ups around 4am. I haven't gone to be that early since I was a little kid!
Today we started slowly. Sharon woke up feeling a little sick so I took the kids on a walk. My double jogging stroller has really proved itself here as we bump over everyimaginable surface together. I can push both of them with hardly any effort on flat ground, and a little uphill!! The stroller and the kids weigh almost 100 pounds together! So we got some fruit for breakfast. I got the "golden" grapes. I call them that because they are so expensive. Today they looked so good and were HUGE, but they were a little sour!
After that we came back to pick up Sharon and got into the car and drove to the auto parts store. I got a new oil filter, oil and a headlight for the truck. Yet another thing I've done in the Mongolian language!
Then we headed over to a friends home and we dropped off some things for friend and chatted with the Sprengers. It is always encouraging to visit there.
Then we went to Weston's favorite restaurant BDs grill. It is like a Mongolian BBQ from the states. It is actually a US franchise and the quality of the food is really good. They cook the food on the grill and we watched as the cook started a really big fire (for entertainment) and tossed a few pieces of broccoli up into his hat. Weston loves that part. He ate a huge amount of veggies and meat today!
Then we came home and tried to have nap time for a while. Finally, when I was about to give up, Sierra fell asleep and so we waited a bit longer. I read to Weston. We are reading Apple and the Arrow. It is the story of William Tell. It is good, a little difficult to understand for Weston, but we have enjoyed it. Sierra woke up and then we went out the playground here. They played for awhile and then we took another walk.
We found some nice tomatoes and cucumbers and headed home for dinner. We had a light dinner. It is the kind of dinner Weston calls a snack dinner, pb bread, hardboiled eggs, tomatoes, and a couple of noodles. He likes that and so do I D They took a bath and then watched the first 20 minutes of the Little Mermaid. Now they are trying to fall asleep and I am typing this. :)
I did eat all fruit and veggies today and yesterday. I did have a little salad dressing and today at BDs my veggies were cooked, but besides that I have stayed on my "detox." I can't say whether or not I feel detoxed, but it has been interesting! I have two more raw detox days. I will not continue to only eat raw, but have learned that I like veggies and will be eating more of them. ;)

Thanks for all the detail in your trip, I have imagined your time. It sounds like you are having a nice time. I'm glad you got some sleep and the kids sound like they have been good boys and girls. :) I think we ate at that restaurant when I was in Mongolia, so I can see it in my mind. Good job sticking with your detox. Dad and I are doing really good on W.W. I think he lost 12 in one week. Men. ;) I think I lost 3. :) The battle rages on. I will continue the fight! I won't give in to it and will pray for change and self control. Give big hugs and kisses to Weston and Sierra.
Love you as big as everything! Miss you :( xoxox
Mom
it sounds like you're having a great time in the city. Must be nice to walk around, eat out, go to the playground, etc. Anything to entertain those kiddos and build great memories with your little chicks.
Love you!!
ps. GOOD JOB on the eating raw part!! You're a rockstar!
I can just imagine Weston ejoying his meal at the grill. He really appreciates his favorite foods when he is hungry! Alot like his Daddy. Sounds like you all had a great trip. I hope the drive home was good too. Talk to you later.. Love, Mom
