Bats in the Cave

Hi there everybody. Sorry about the lack of a post for yesterday...the internet connection here was extremely slow. It took over 15 minutes and the screen for posting didn't even load so I gave up.

Not much has changed in our day to day activities. We get up at 8 am still, watch some news for little while, go for breakfast, load the diaper bag (refill cookie container, get diapers, etc.), go visit Dinara from 10-11:30am, go for lunch, go to the internet cafe, back to the hotel for another couple of hours, go for our afternoon Dinara dose 4-5:30pm and then back to the hotel for beer and supper. Not that exciting really...well we are excited to see our daughter but other then that we just kill time. Today we decided to try a new restaurant...the Britainicca. We posted pics of it earlier. We were told that it is the most expensive restaurant in Kyzylorda. We agree but the prices are still quite reasonable. I had chicken curry and Andrew had an oriental styled chicken. It was marvelous. Not as good as at home but much better then what we normally eat. We plan on going to this restaurant at least once a week from now on. They also have billards...American billiards. It costs 1000 tenge per hour (~$9 US). This is a little pricey but we might do it if we get bored enough.

Well you might be asking why the name of the post today. Well we had our first kind of interesting task as parents. Dinara had two boogers in her nose today. I managed to get one out no problem but the other one wouldn't budge. I think they crazy glued it in there. Tomorrow I'm bringing tweezers with me. That booger will be no match for me then. She was quite still while we were trying to get it out. I was impressed. She is also walking much better today. All we had to do was hold her hands while she walked around. This is a good sign that she is getting stronger each day. Yeah!!!

We have to be going. I hope you all are well. Oh! We have been told that Moscow should have received Dinara's medical on Thursday so her provisionary VISA should be issued on Monday hopefully. Whoopee!!! Talk soon. Miss you all still...and cooking for myself. Paka Paka (bye bye).

Evenin' My Darlings, good to hear from you at anytime. As to the stubborn Little green bat, leave it alone it will come out on its own when ready. It could be shy. Or maybe it's a vampire and only comes out at night. Chuckle, chuckle, ha,ha !! Glad to hear you have found another good place to eat. Have you done the bowling yet? Love hearing all the news from Kazakhstan. Nadine,give Dinara and Andrew a zerbert and Andrew please give Nadine one in return for us. Missing you all much, much. Pics when possible please. Mom & Dad/Grands

It was so hard to wait for your blog. But I understand computer frustrations. Glad to know that paperwork is progressing. Nana wrote you a long e-mail. We miss you very much and are sad to not be here to meet Dinara until late June. If we could get our money back, I would cancel the cruise. Love from Nana and Opa to the three of you.
