Here we are, we hope....





Somehow I was ale to sign on today. I have no idea how and usually it comes up in Russian or the characters change mid-sentence.....Dias is such a great kid. He is sweet, and loving, and funny and ALL boy. The hip/leg prolems only seem to show up with fatigue and going up and down stairs at times. We have been visiting 2x's a day everyday and he tells his mama's at the babyhouse if we are late. He tells everyone he meets "E mama E papa" and smiles that precious smile. The pee and poo thing is too cute in their buckets, each numbered for each child and they all know which is theirs. Same with their towel, toothbrush etc. The clothes are another story and they all are quite colorful some days but always warm and clean. The other children are warming up to us and you cannot help get attached to certain ones. Others, well, we are pretty sure they will be seen on kazakhs most wanted one day........We sleep well, we love the steam radiator heat in the apts. and then you just open the windows if you get too warm. There are so many things we love about it here, truly, but home is of course, always best. we have thoroughly enjoyed our translators time with us and her view of history...USSR... etc. Very interesting and also very sad for many people when it broke up. Dias is Kazakh so he is welcome and they really want him to stay here of course. He is a national resource, truly.The Russian kids are a different story. Not mistreated but segregated and the hope for the future is Kazakh only.
