There were some new French families last week and a new Spanish family today. The new Spanish family adopted one of our favorite little guys from Ava’s room. He would always come over in his walker and watch us feed Ava. It is great to see all the babies finding their families. We found out today too that we won’t see Ava on Thursday, as it’s a holiday, but instead we get to see her on Sunday, so it evens out. It’s pretty hard to believe that in 8 days we’ll be in court and then boarding Air Astana for the start of our trip home.
The weather’s gotten a little colder with highs in the 40’s and it’s been overcast for a few days. We have been precipitation free except for a few sprinkles of rain, though the forecast is predicting snow. Perhaps the weathermen here are as bad as the weathermen at home? Time will tell. Despite the cold outside, our apartment is at a steady 80 degrees. The heat is on (city controlled steam radiators), and we can find no way of regulating it. So our windows are open as much as possible to keep it reasonable.
Here’s the Ava pictures…
That's Oliver reaching for the toy Ava has. Just another day of fun!!

It is amazing to think you guys will be home before you know it. what was that no boyfriend thing util she was 30? You better keep an eye on her. I always enjoy her pictures. We miss you all.
I am glad you have been able to enjoy your excursions before it has gotten too cold. I am so happy that she so clearly connects with you, her bonding will be fine and you will be excellent parents! I like the idea of no dating till she's 30 too. We miss you! Love, hugs and kisses, Mom and Bill
I'm hoping you can now see that Ava not paying attention to you the whole time doesn't mean that your not bonding with her. The fact that she looks for you and smiles proves that she knows who you are, and feels secure when your there, secure enough to go explore the room. We love you all, and miss you.
Hi! Ava looks so sweet holding onto Mommy's hands! Safe and secure with her Mommy & Daddy and before you know it, you'll all be
living your lives together!
Love,
Cindy

Just thought we'd let you know Ava has a following from Canada as well as the U.S. While visiting my daughter in Toronto we showed her the site and she is hooked as well. We met a sister there who knows you, Kelly Ingalls, she is living near Toronto, and was happy to hear your great news. Thanks for including us all in your joy. Love from the Burkeys
Ava is still gorgeous! You guys look so happy!
Are all the buildings so hot? We will be staying in a hotel. I wonder if it will be the same.?
I love reading your blog. You give so much information. If you have met Michelle, please tell her Sonya says "Hi"!
