The girls were very active again today. I met another family that is adopting from here. We have been to lunch a few times. Today, we met for lunch and they asked me if my girls were having a good time around 10:30. They had been in the physical therapy room which is on the other side of the baby house and they had heard us. The girls had been laughing and screeching and I had been running to try to close the doors so that they wouldn't disturb the whole baby house. I guess I didn't make it.
Leeza loves to go through the circle head first.
She just dives through and lands on her head and flops over.
Sasha claimed the "good" swing today. There are 2 identical swings and each day they decide one swing is the good one and both want to swing in it.
Since she didn't get the good swing, Leeza had fun using the video camera case as a purse. Overall, it was a good visit, but I was sad at the end since I have to leave them for a while now and there is no way to explain it to them. I bought them purses, but they played with them yesterday so they needed something new today.
On the way back to the apartment, I finally got a decent picture of the mountains. They are usually hidden by smog. Flying out of Shymkent today, I was able to see the countryside. Once you are away from the city, there really isn't much to see. It does remind me so much of parts of Arizona. Everything was brown, but that may be due to the summer heat. I would love to come back in the spring sometime before everything dried/burns up in the summer heat.

Oh, my! I hadn't checked the Kaz blogs for quite awhile, but recently I checked your blog. I didn't even know you had traveled! I just read many of your entries, and I'm so happy for you that you finally got that call, and that you are a mom to two precious girls! Congratulations to you! I know you waited a long time for this!!
We have spent time and grieved and processed what happened with our KZ adoption not working out, and we're about to start anew with a domestic adoption.
Best wishes to you and your new family!

I think it's a big sis/little sis thing to always want what your sister has - it was like that for me and my younger sister. If I liked it she liked it (whether or not she really did). You need to start buying 2 of everything. :)
It's so great to see them having so much fun and even better that the loud noises are laughs and giggles rather than crying!
