Today was a great day. I went to see a Kazakh Music concert in the evening with my interpreter. It was really amazing to see. She pointed out that we were the only "European" faces in the crowd. Which was true, Kazakh people tend to look more Asian, and although Semey seems to be about 1/2 Caucasian outside the concert -- at the concert it really attracted the people with a long Kazakh heritage.
I haven't been taking many pictures so I'm going through my archives. Since my time with Kamilla is the same time every day, in the same room every day, and they have her in the same outfits every day -- even though the picture may have been taken 3 days ago -- it "could have been" today! Honestly!

Kamilla wants to make sure she did not leave ANYTHING in my bag

Oops! It looks like she saw something else in there....

One of my most common views. I cannot get her to stay in the bonding room with me. She likes to bang around in the bathroom, since she knows I don't really like her in there. More hard surfaces to get hurt on, no toys, dirty rags, etc.

Here she is with the soap dish to pound on every surface. The louder....the better.

Oh! I dropped the soap dish in the tub, Mom. Can you get it for me?
I have more pounding to do with it! LOL

This is a little push toy that I bought for her. It is very cute and noisy.
She looks like a live wire!! I love it!!! Just think soon enough she will have a whole houseful of exploring to do :-) I am so glad things are going so well, the concert sounds really neat :-) Stay warm and good luck in the upcoming days! Love, Erin
ReplyDeleteKaren, I love her! Reading your blog is a hoot. I can't wait to see the 2 of you together here at home. Kiss that beautiful Kamilla for me and send her angel blessings from Aunt Freddi, okay?
ReplyDeleteKeep well and healthy yourself. How is the weather there? Is it getting colder? We had a beautiful autumn, then the rain knocked all the leaves down. Missed you, and talked of you last night at my Halloween party. Just think, next year we will be costuming Kamilla for her 1st Halloween!
Love, Freddi
