Hello from Taldy Korgan

We are still having computer problems. Hopefully tonight we will have a solution. We are enjoying our visit with Dias so much. He is a very sweet child and all boy. He has started to hug us when we arrive which of course makes me very happy. He loves to play cars and on the playground and eats everything we bring him with great gusto. The weather is gorgeous but we hear there will e snow in next three days. Our translator Enessa is a very nice woman and now a friend. Out apt. is comfortable and modern. I drink the cherry juice every day. Susan Cole knows what I mean. And the yogurt here is so good. We eat at our apt. and have been very happy with that. We are going to church tomorrow before we visit Dias and Mike is going to Mosque with our driver next week. We did some marketing today which I love all the fresh foods and bakery and butcher shop. We have been watching video from when Shawn was a baby. We miss him so much. He is well and happy and I think having alot of fun. Everyone wants him to visit. Who knows.........Thank you for writing, it means so much. We are half way through our visit. I hope to have photographs on by tomorrow. Again, for all who sent photos, the baby house staff LOVE seeing these kids.
We are having such a good visit and we feel the Kazak team is doing everything they can to make sure we make the court happy. We had to get permission to visit, we have been observed, we sign in everyday, so does the doctor and the translator that we are visiting everyday. Dias is is a mommas boy it appears so far, whcih is the opposite of Shawn when we were here. Of course I love it and Mike is o.k. with it. All the children run up to him when we arrive each day and tell him we are there....your momma and pappa are here....they all deserve this. Several children from photos we had from 2005 have gone to the orphanage. You can tell it saddens the staff.
More later. We are well. Love to all. Paka.
