Are we there yet?
It’s a beautiful day here in Kostanai, and yes, I’m reduced to speaking of nothing but the weather. Well maybe a few other things. This morning a cat was perched in the tree outside our window, 3 stories up. He looked quite content, dozing away in the morning sun.

Fun with babies! We took them outside again today, and while the same perplexed look and soundlessness occurred, Asella did flail her legs around rather emphatically. We took this to be a good sign of progress.

Her soccer education continued today as we worked on her goalkeeping skills. Though I was a bit dismayed by her response to Sarah’s chucking the ball at her head – she thought it was funny, and then tried to eat the ball. We’ll work on juggling and volleys tomorrow.



Here are some more pictures of Asella in various states ranging from demure to sickeningly adorable.









You’ll never believe it, but we went to a new restaurant for dinner. It was Quentin Tarantino themed, with the Pulp Fiction soundtrack on the stereo and posters on the wall. It was in a great location next to 2 construction sites and nowhere near any other stores, so naturally we were the only ones in the place. The food was pretty good and the bathroom had a very interesting poster featuring various shots from a “toilet cam.” I’ll leave the contents to your imagination. Nope, think worse than that. Worse. There ya go.

2 weeks to go. 75% done. Only a quarter left. Sarah just informed me that she misses burritos. Mmmmm… burritos.
