I just realized today that the postings have been on the wrong days. Because you guys are 12 hours behind us (and so is google obviously) they are one day behind for us. Oh well just an observation.
Sorry about the lack of a post yesterday we were running around with our translator. We went to the small bazaar and purchased another traditional Kazak piece of folk art. I love it. We still haven't heard about Dinara's provisionary VISA. I have been told not to worry yet...if it doesn't get issued on Monday then I am allowed to worry. I have called London and Moscow and no one is allowed to tell me anything over the phone. This makes things extremely irritating. I know that there are very good reasons for this percaution but when I can give them every little bit of information you think they could make an exception. Oh well, Bureacracy (sp?) at it's finest. Also, telling me not to worry really doesn't work very well. I have always said that I don't seem to never be worrying about something. I really just want this VISA to be issued ASAP so that I can just worry about the waiting period. These really are the last two hurdles before she is permanently ours. Having Canada tell us that yes we are allowed to proceed is important. Well enough of me ranting.
Visits are still going well. Everyday she shows us a little more of herself. She not only crawls like a fiend now but likes to have Andrew and I walk her around the room just holding her by the arms. I am amazed more and more each day. Today she played with her favorite toy (blocks), had mommy chase her around while crawling, and then fell asleep first on daddy then on mommy. Oh!! She was getting fussy with Andrew, looked at me and said "ma, ma, ma, ma". I'm not imagining it either...Andrew and our new translator Akmiral also heard her. I then took her from him and she settled right down. I was over the moon.
Well that's enough for today...I'm hungry and going to get a burger. Talk soon. Keep the good thoughts our way. Miss you all.

So far you have discovered: that she is smart enough to play 'pass me to the other one'; musical enough for the Muppets and Disney; active enough to want to be on the go, especially if she convince these tall snuggle bunnies to help. It sounds like speed dating!
Love to All, Nana
Love from Opa too. We are just back from Victoria. Shopping!!! We each bought a home-coming gift for Dinarischka. And I also ordered a nice piece of jewellary for Sharon becoming a Nana. Someday it will be Dinara's. Hugs and kisses to the three of you. Opa.
Hi,
She sounds like the typical crazy kid so you are going to be exhausted parents just like everyone else.
Hope the Visa thing gets straightened out fast.
Hang in there.
Love from me
