Hi there folks. Today was another good day (so far anyway...I am posting after our morning visit). Happy Friendship Day from Kazakhstan! Today is a festival celebrating friendship. These people know how to celebrate the important stuff. Our visit went good this morning...she played for about half an hour and then wanted to be held. We were definitely good with this. After being held for about 15 minutes she fell asleep in my arms. Oh by the way we are in the new room today so no ants anywhere. Whew! She is definitely bonded with us...when the caregiver came down the stairs with her she smiled a huge smile when she saw me. It melted my heart a little bit. She also did not want to be returned today...she made a face like she was going to cry. It is a good thing she didn't or Mommy would have been crying too. She still loves playing with the diaper bag. She pulls everything out, then starts putting it all away and starts the process over again. It is quite cute to watch. She also knows how to share very well. If I or Daddy puts his hand out and says "Can I have or Ta or Give" she normally will hand what she has over. Now this doesn't happen all the time but I'd say about 70% of the time...sometimes even with cookies.
We plan to eat again at the Turkish place we have been going to. This is the place we get our hamburgers at. They have good food for very low prices. Two hamburgers and fries cost about 500 tenge (~$4.50 US)and there is quite a lot of cheese on these burgers (lots of ketchup and mayo too). They also serve good shashleek (kabobs) and pizza. The pizza isn't as good as the pizzeria here but it is simple and cheap. We plan on walking to a part of town today that has water fountains on for the festival. We will take some pics and post them tomorrow. Well that's all for now. Keep the good thoughts coming...miss you all.

friendship festival, cool :) what a grat thing to celibrate. have fun.
2 more days!!!!!!
love ya
:)
WOW!!! Only 2 more to go. We can hardly wait. The more you tell us about Dinara the harder it is to wait. Missing you all terribly. Anxiously waiting for you to come home. About what 30 more sleep before we get to cuddle our Little One. Enjoy the festival, be good reps. for us. Love yous as always, Mom & Dad/ Gramma & Grampa.
Two more sleeps!! Yay! (Counting "sleeps" reminds me of The Muppet's Christmas Carol where they sing about there being only one more sleep 'till Christmas)
I can't wait, so I know it must be sooooo much harder for you two, well, three. Dinara probably doesn't understand that after Thursday's visit she won't have to go back to her room, but I'm sure she does understand that the two of you are hers.
'Gramma and Grampa' have a good point ... I should figure out how many sleeps I have before I can finally meet your little darling in person!
Also, I love the Friendship Day thing. That's really excellent.
Lots of love - b
