Today was a good day with Darina. She was very spunky, energetic, and full of cuddles for us. We heard that Darina's paper work has been corrected and so it should be resubmitted to the judge that will be handling our case either today or on Monday.
Here in Kaz the heat is controlled by the government and is usually on till the end of May. Since this has been a very warm April, they must have decided to turn it off earlier which means that we have no more heat in our apartment...YAY! It feels so much nicer in here now!


It's hard to get Darina to look up from her coloring book so Dada had to put a sticker on his nose to get a smile out of her.


Later we did some climbing outside which Darina hadn't been interested in doing for a week or so. It was nice to get her outside and walking around.


Cuddling on the swing with Mama.


More fun outside. Again today was very warm...too warm for a huge jacket and hat in our opinion...but we don't want to get in trouble with the baby house so we bundled her up!

Yes the doll house is in a safe place for Darina, but we may need to get nicer looking dolls! Remember the bald headed dad doll Kari? Anyways, we are glad things are going forward! xoxox Mom

Hi James - I liked your stream of consciousness blog! It looks like things are moving forward even if there are a few bumps in the road. We are looking forward to seeing you and are saving plenty of work for you when you get back!

The picture of her in the purple shirt is the cutest thing ever! Thanks James for putting a sticker on your nose to get this. Oh I am sure she would love the doll house but I like mom's suggestion, we need new dolls. Well I am glad that things are starting to look up. I hope you will hear soon. Love you much! Give Ava D a hug and kiss from Auntie.
