I Say..."This English Binky is Simply Spiffy"

Well, This was our first official day with the kids 100%

of the time. It went well....I was tired....from putting

the kids down and trying to finish the website at 4am...

"Don't Hate Me Cuz I'm Beautiful...."

These are actually Evening shots but

what the heck.....Cute Shot of the girl

sitting pretty on the couch....what you don't see is her sliding off of it all the time...Kaz Babies are very slippery.

"Hold Everything....My Hair isn't Combed Right"

Here are the 3 happy campers. Posing for Daddy.

"Ugggggggggh....Almost Got IT!!"

Here Isabella helps remove a binky from the Boy's

Forehead. Not sure how it got there....okay okay...its

just an optical illusion...the binky isn't really stuck in his head. Relax Mom.

Trying Out The New Binky for Size

Here Ethan tries to nibble on his brand

new FRENCH Binky. These things are

enormous...which might explain the

surprised expression on his face.....

"So what are you trying to say?"

Here Isabella converses with Mommy.

Little did you guys know that Denise

speaks the language of all babies....

Use alot of spit and alot of noise....

"You Kiss your baby with that mouth?"

Obviously Isabella is shocked at what

Denise is telling her....No car of your own

until you can afford to buy new ones for

both Mom and Pop....

Grl1 and Grl2 do the raspberry song..

You guys might be able to see this by now....but both kids are doing so much better now that they are back in the apartment with us. Definitely a big turnaround in their personalities.

Here's Lookin At You Kids...

Gulbanu (avec nouveau cheveaux- with

new haircut) poses with Isabella. We

went to see her to get the last of the Kaz

paperwork together and some last minute

instructions.

Group Photo....

Here's the bunch of us posing in front of the camera.

The Young Lady in the Yellow is Leela (I think- Gulbanu

if you're reading this please let us know if we got this right)

and she will be the young lady we will be sponsoring.

Mary Hughes in the US helps co-ordinate the sponsorship

program of young adults and helps give them a chance

to prepare themselves for life outside the orphanage. Give

Mary a call if you're interested in participating.

Paka From Gulbanu's Office

This is probablly the last time we'll see Gulbanu while

we're in Kaz. She and her people have done such a

good job with our adoption. This has gone so incredibly

smooth that it's not funny. Coming to Kaz has been

one of our finest vacations we've ever had.....I've been

able to work a few hours on the computer at night....the

food's been great and we've managed to bring home

a couple of "souvenirs" at the same time....Thanks Gulbanu!
