DeMichieli Family

WE have seen Sam and he is awesome (of course). He watches everything and everyone. He does have a favorite caregiver and makes a beeline to her when he sees or hears her enter the room. He is well loved and such a cutie. FINALLY got to see him crawl and smile. He is not the least bit energetic. The weather is great. NO coats and sunshine is bright and strong. Alfiya our translator is great and such a worker. lots of paperwork still (of course) and she is constantly on the job. She is fab with the kids too. we are here with other families, but we are the only ones from KIDS FIRST. There will be a total of 7 kids with us on the way home. The plane ride from Ust to Almaty is already dreaded by us all. Seats are very small and there is no moving room. ugh. then add kids/babies on everyones laps. oh my. We have had pizza and beef sandwiches for our dinners. nice walks. the altitude is really affecting our stamina, ok that's our excuse. and the exciting news is there are 2 english speaking tv stations. The main one we watch is National Geographic. oh boy, and then one night was all about horrific plane crashes, yeah, that's what we wanna see. lol.
business center is going to close soon, so better go. miss you all. Thanks Judy for posting to the blog for us. You're awesome.
