Want to Help Support Our Adoption?

Ava is home! Naturally, Kari is itching to get back to her crafts, and now she has a new model! Continue to check out her blog to see the latest and greatest.

We now have a blog devoted to Kari's fundraising crafts! Please take a moment to browse the website and, if you like what you see, share this new blog with your friends and family! http://avaadoptionfundraising.blogspot.com/

Happy Saturday


You wouldn't know it from this picture but Ava doesn't like Saturdays. We think she knows that it's a short day and that we wont be back to visit on Sunday :-(



Playing in the shade hiding from the hot hot sun.


Oh so cute


A few more days and this little one will officially be our daughter...yay!

This is the newest adoptive family in Pavlodar, Dave and Linda.

More Fountain Pictures :-)


We went on a little hike to Dave and Linda's apartment which is WAY nicer than ours by the way.


We hadn't seen the Orthodox church since the first week we were here. It's much prettier with the blue skies behind it.

Peggy and Jan's son has his first birthday tomorrow...Happy Birthday Casper!

We are so very happy that Kari and James have had you and your husband, Peggy! It has been such comfort for them to have you to eat and play games with and share frustrations and joys with. Maybe some day we will meet! We hope your adoption goes well and you can resume a normal life too! Love to all of you people in Kazakhstan who are adopting! xoxox Pam (Mimi)

The pictures of you and little Ava D are so amazing, award-winning even! Then again, you have THREE great subjects to photograph. I love you all so much and can't wait to get the three of you back home!

Oh my gosh I cannot believe it will only be a few more days. Are you guys freaking out? I can't even imagine your excitement because mine is pretty high right now at just being an aunt! Just wanted to say thank you for showing me how to stay positive during rough patches. It all turns out in the end. Love you all! P.S. Her shirt is so cute! I love the little snail!
